(Tested platform: Apple iMac, configured with 3.1 GHz i7 processor, with 16 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512 MB, OS X 10.9.5.) There are a few other enhancements, but I prefer to focus on the ones that had the most profound effect on my workflow. The Elite Edition also gives you the new DxO Clearview tool, to penetrate atmospheric haze. (I also added FilmPack v.5 to the mix, although I’m less enthralled about film emulators in general.)īeyond that, “Prime denoising” NR for Raw files (Elite edition only) has gotten a big speed boost, so you no longer fear that using it would be like watching paint dry.

I took it to the next level with the optional v.2.5 upgrade. DxO 10 Elite comes with Version 1, which installs as a plug-in (also usable with compatible apps, such as Lightroom and Photoshop). ViewPoint very effectively tackles perspective and distortion control as no other tool I know. What’s more, OpticsPro 10 now fully supports DxO’s own ViewPoint plug-in. You can go back and forth practically seamlessly between the two programs, including importing and exporting converted DNG Raw files. There are lots of key enhancements to OpticsPro 10 but let’s start with full integration with Adobe Lightroom. But are these enough to catapult this software into the top tier, or is it still playing catch-up?

What the new DxO OpticsPro 10 version of the software brings to the table is a cadre of new features and improvements. I’ve worked with DxO's OpticsPro imaging software for several years and have watched this program evolve and make great strides as a Raw image converter.
