DxO Optics Pro v1/v2/v3/v4 Standard to Optics Pro v5 Standard Software Upgrade

The DxO Optics Pro v5 Standard upgrade requires either DxO Optics Pro Standard v1, v2, v3, or v4.

DxO Optics Pro v5 features a new generation RAW converter, new noise removal technology for RAW images, dust removal tool, revamped User Interface, and supports more cameras to help you automatically correct and enhance your images. Eliminate distortion, vignetting, & lens softness through specifically developed camera/lens modules. Remove camera noise and purple fringing. Optimize your picture's exposure and dynamic range. Correct perspective and optimize color. Recover blown-out highlights and convert RAW files.

DxO Optics Pro runs on Windows or Macintosh** to automatically improve image quality and is based on extensive analysis of cameras and lenses. Designed for advanced amateur and professional photographers, DxO Optics Pro is an essential accessory for supported DSLRs.

With the release of version 4.5, DxO Optics Pro offers what is possibly the first-ever third-party commercial plug-in for Adobe Lightroom. Photographers can integrate DxO Optics Pro and Lightroom into their workflow via the exclusive DxO Optics Pro plug-in for Adobe Lightroom. Users can send their images straight from Adobe Lightroom to DxO Optics Pro for processing and save corrected files directly into their Lightroom library (with the metadata intact).

Now DXO Optics Pro makes the whole process of sharing DxO Optics Pro-processed photos on the World Wide Web easier, faster and smoother. DxO Optics Pro v5 includes a free plug-in allowing automatic login, tagging and uploading of processed images to Flickr, the popular photo-sharing website.

With Automatic Crop, DxO Optics Pro v5 maximizes the remaining image surface, respects the height/width ratio and conserves the geometric center of the image providing users with an immediate view of the final effect of the crop. This feature is particularly useful on a batch of images that have been corrected for horizon alignment or perspective, for example.

DxO Optics Pro is the winner of the prestigious "EISA 2007-2008 Best Software Product" award.

**(Mac OS: DxO Optics Pro v5 for Macintosh isn't available yet. Customers buying DxO Optics Pro v5 for Macintosh actually get DxO Optics Pro v4.5 for Macintosh, and will get a free upgrade to v5 as soon as it becomes available.)
