A full list of differences between the Essential and Elite editions can be found here. It also includes more FilmPack film types as mentioned previously, and various enthusiast / pro-grade features like color profiling and moire removal. Only the Elite version includes the new ClearView tool or the PRIME denoising engine that was introduced in the previous version. The Essential version of the suite is priced at around US$190 through November 25th, and the Elite version at around US$290 through the same introductory period.

(Note, though, that FilmPack 5 is currently available only as an Optics Pro plugin the standalone app and plugins for Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Elements, and Apple Aperture will follow from mid-November.) (You can see that logo at the very top of this article.)Īvailable immediately DxO Optics Pro 10, DxO FilmPack 5 and DxO ViewPoint 2.5 can be purchased together as the DxO Photo Suite. FilmPack 5 also has a new micro-contrast tool, a toning tool that works on shadows and highlights separately, and a simplified blur tool which now works in vignetting or soft focus modes.Īnd on top of all of the above, DxO Labs itself also has a new logo and tagline that reinforce the company's brand message - "Simply Better Images". The 16 new film types include 11 black and white films (Adox CHS 100 II, Adox CMS 20, Adox Silvermax 21, Bergger BRF 400 PLUS, Foma Fomapan 100 Classic, Foma Fomapan 100r, Foma Fomapan 200 Creative, Foma Fomapan 400 Action, Fujifilm Neopan 400, Ilford Pan 100 and Ilford Pan 400), one positive color film (Fujifilm Instax 120), and four negative color films (Adox Color Implosion, Fuji Superia X-Tra 400, Fujicolor Pro 400h and Kodak Portra 400).Īlso new in FilmPack 5 are a 16:9-aspect user interface with integrated file explorer that takes advantage of the now-commonplace widescreen display to show your images to full effect alongside the app's controls, and support for adjusting images shot in raw format. In total, 83 B&W, color and negative films are available for simulation in the Elite version, with a subset of 44 of these being available in the Essential edition. At its simplest it's a single-click correction, but if you want, you can adjust the intensity of the correction to suit your image.ĭxO ClearView is more than a little reminiscent of Adobe's Defog tool, demonstrated recently at the company's MAX 2014 conference, but while Adobe's tool is so far just a proof of concept, DxO has beaten them to the punch with a shipping product.ĭxO FilmPack 5 comes in Essential and Elite editions, just like Optics Pro. The ClearView algorithm attempts to create a depth map of your image, and then examines each pixel and corrects for the distance-induced falloff in contrast and saturation.

Essentially, it's an algorithm for correcting the effects of haze and smog, which rob distant areas in your photos of contrast and color. The big change in DxO Optics Pro 10 is what the company is calling ClearView. Of the three, it is Optics Pro 10 that is the most significant update, with one major new feature, and some very important updates in other areas as well. In its latest incarnation, the DxO Photo Suite - whose components can be bought together or separately - consists of DxO Optics Pro 10, DxO FilmPack 5, and DxO ViewPoint 2.5. With the new differentiation by Optics Pro features, there's no need for the company to draw an arbitrary line in the sand as to which photographers need to pay the higher price.

From DxO's perspective, the reason for the change is that it's become increasingly difficult to differentiate between what constitutes a professional camera, and what is an enthusiast model.

In a nutshell, instead of segmenting the Essential and Elite versions of the app based on your camera model, Optics Pro is now compatible with all supported cameras in both versions, but certain higher-end features are withheld for the Elite version of the app. That last point in particular is huge news for DxO's customers. A year later, though, the company has taken things to the next level, with significant updates to its three main imaging apps, a new look for the DxO brand, and a complete rethink of its pricing structure.

Over the years, we've seen some pretty significant updates to French software company DxO Labs' flagship Optics Pro raw image processing app, not least of which was last year's Optics Pro 9, which brought a radically rethough noise-processing engine.
