New RAW conversion engine to make the promises of very high ISO come true
|
|
Most of the recent DSLRs feature impressive high ISO settings, sometimes as high as 25 600 ISO. But until now, these high sensitivities were of little practical use to photographers due to the very poor resulting image quality. DxO Optics Pro v5.3’s new RAW conversion technology is willing to breaks this limitation. By improving noise removal, detail rendition and color fidelity at any sensitivity, DxO Optics Pro v5.3 should enable photographers to take full advantage of the ultra-high ISO of their costly cameras. DxO seems to be pretty sure of the efficiency of their new RAW conversin engine. We shall test it as soon as the new version will be available.

DxO Optics Pro v5.3 adds RAW support for the latest cameras like Nikon D700 and Canon Digital Rebel XS/1000D DSLRs, and for the high-end compact Canon PowerShot G9 (yes, the PowerShot G10 has been announced at the Photokina last month !). Other recently announced DSLRs, including Canon EOS 50D and Nikon D90, will be supported by the end of the year, DxO says.

Stability and user experience improvements
|
|
DxO is quite well known for launching new versions with rather beta versions than really definite workable versions. It has again been the case for DxO 5 and we expect a major improvement on this side. Hopefully, DxO Optics Pro v5.3 improves stability and, according to DxO, numerous aspects of the user experience, including automatic download of available DxO Optics Correction Modules, automatic focusing distance recognition for Canon 40D, 1D Mark III and 1Ds Mark III, backup and restore of project database, more predefined presets, and better color rendering options including a new "neutral" color rendering.
