 Optics Pro Starter Edition software
Optics Pro Starter Edition automatically improves the images from supported cameras in the following areas: Exposure optimization and dynamic range thanks to DxO Lighting Engine which automatically reveals shadow details, improves backlit images, and gives images more “pop”. Removal of Image Noise achieving a 2-stop gain thanks to DxO Noise Engine - making it possible to shoot in low-light situations without the inconvenience of digital noise. Removal of optical defaults such as lens distortion, vignetting, chromatic aberrations, purple fringing thanks to DxO Optics Engine.
DxO Optics Pro Starter Edition software
“DxO Optics Pro Starter Edition can be thought of as a ‘camera upgrade’,” says Luc Marin, vice president of DxO Labs Photography business. The software processes JPEG images and incorporates the same award-winning image enhancement technologies as DxO Optics Pro Standard and DxO Optics Pro Elite editions.
Optics Pro Starter Edition - Automated workflow
Another unique benefit of DxO Optics Pro Starter Edition is its automated workflow. The user simply drops images into the program and presses “Start” to improve the images, leaving DxO Optics Pro to do all the complex image enhancement tasks automatically. This has several important benefits: Virtually no learning curve; optimal results are achieved from the first use of the program. Much less time is spent in front of the computer tweaking images, leaving more time to do other things such as shooting more pictures!
DxO Optics Pro Starter Edition - Camera performance upgrade
Optics Pro Starter Edition’s state-of-the art image improvements are based on DxO Labs’ patented technology for modeling true camera performance. Each supported camera and its lens are studied in great detail, and thousands of highly controlled test images are shot. A mathematical model of the camera’s performance is then produced which can be used to “reverse” or eliminate image imperfections.
DxO Optics Pro Starter Edition - Price & Availability
- DxO Optics Pro Starter Edition is available for Windows and Macintosh.
- DxO Optics Pro Starter Edition is priced at $79 (excluding VAT and sales taxes).
