DxO Optics Pro 6

Photography Blog has reviewed the RAW image processing program DxO Optics Pro 6. This piece of software is workflow based like Adobe Lightroom and Apple Aperture which should suit photographers working with a lot of RAW files (or JPEGs). As I have mostly used Lightroom myself it is interesting to see how competing programs are able to perform. DxO Optics Pro 6 is available for $109 for the standard edition and $199 for the Elite edition (the prices will raise after December 31st).

Photography Blog ends up giving the DxO Optics Pro 6 a “Recommended” 4 out 5 stars rating. The reviewer find the noise handling the best he/she has seen in any programs and the workflow is pretty good. DxO Optics Pro 6 is also very good at correcting fringing and the most important part: the end result is very good. One downside is that the program lacks support for keywording, but not everyone needs this. Overall DxO Optics Pro 6 seems like a pretty good program for photographers who need a good workflow program.
