DxO Optics Pro introduces PRIME, a revolutionary noise reduction technology whose spectacular performance produces
detailed and vividly-colored images even under the most extreme shooting conditions.
Based on DxO Labs' exclusive approach of prior calibration of equipment in its laboratories, DxO Optics Pro integrates
many powerful tools for automatically processing RAW and JPEG images: precise optical and geometric corrections,
intelligent optimization of exposure and contrast, preservation of colors and details. Its numerous presets can be
adapted to photographers' personal tastes and will help them bring out the best in their photos in just a few clicks.
Features :
Breathtaking images, even at extremely high ISO
Thanks to PRIME (Probabilistic Raw IMage Enhancement) denoising technology, which analyzes the structure of RAW images
in depth in order to differentiate between noise and fine details, DxO Optics Pro offers a gain in image quality of up
to one full stop over the best noise reduction algorithms currently on the market.
"In contrast to the usual approach of finding a better compromise between image quality and execution speed, we have
created a tool whose sole purpose is to obtain the best image quality possible, "explained Frédéric Guichard, Chief
Scientific Officer of DxO Labs. "For each pixel, more than a thousand neighboring pixels are analyzed. This vast
exploration allows DxO Optics Pro to identify similar data that can serve to reconstruct image information. Several
minutes may be required to do this, but this process takes place in the background, so users can work on other images
and projects while they wait for the results."
PRIME technology results in truly spectacular images: noise is suppressed, and textures, details, and color saturation
are preserved, particularly in shadows, for a beautifully natural look.
For photographers who prefer to denoise their images immediately, DxO Optics Pro still offers a newly-improved high-
quality "classic"denoising tool that produces finely-detailed renderings quickly, even at the highest sensitivities.
Unrivaled highlight management and color rendering
The exclusive DxO Smart Lighting feature optimizes the overall contrast of an image by intelligently adapting to its
contents. This tool has been further improved in DxO Optics Pro 9, which now offers even more powerful highlight
management: details that once were thought lost are revealed, even when the information is missing in the original RAW
data, and colorimetric errors are minimized.
DxO Labs' highly precise knowledge of the way each camera reproduces color allows DxO Optics Pro to emulate the
rendering of any camera on RAW images. DxO Optics Pro goes even further by proposing a new color rendering called "DxO
Portrait", which preserves skin tones and naturally-saturated colors.
New visual presets
DxO Optics Pro library of presets has been completely redesigned. Portrait, Landscape, Black & White, Single-shot HDR:
the new DxO presets respond to different use cases that photographers frequently encounter, and are supplemented by
"Atmospheres", a new set of creative renderings.
A new visual presets window makes it easier for users choose which preset to apply to their images by letting them
preview thumbnails of the rendering effects prior to application.
New export tools
DxO Optics Pro simplifies its workflow by allowing photographers to go directly from customizing their images to using
and sharing them.
The "Export to Disk" feature lets users generate and save JPEG, TIFF, and DNG images in just a few clicks. The new
"Export to Application" feature groups into a single transaction both processing and opening images in an external
application, such as other DxO software products or other editors that specialize in photo retouching, panoramic shots,
HDR, and cataloguing. Finally, the "Export to Flickr" feature adopts this same new approach, letting users process and
publish their photos directly online in just one step.
Even more comfortable and productive
The DxO Optics Pro interface has undergone another evolution, with a new workspace that highlights essential correction
tools, optimizes vertical space, and reorganizes toolbars and palettes in an even more logical fashion. Further, it is
now possible to access context-sensitive help directly in the correction palettes.

What's new :
With this update, the Nikon D5500, Canon PowerShot SX60 HS, and Olympus PEN E-PL7 benefit from DxO OpticsPro’s 10’s
numerous tailor-made corrections.
The DxO Optics Modules library benefits from the addition of 422 new camera/lens combinations, thus providing support
for such lens manufacturers as Canon, Nikon, and Sony. It also provides support for other third-party brand lenses such
as Tamron, Tokina, and Sigma for Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, Samsung, and Sony cameras.
DxO OpticsPro v10.3’s tools have been optimized both to simplify photographers’ workflow and to boost productivity. A
new search engine has been added to the Source Browser to help users easily find and load any folder available on the
operating system by simply typing its name.
The OS X version also offers a new drag-and-drop feature that allows photographers to directly open a folder by
dragging it into the Image Browser, providing quicker access to images. The correction tools have been revisited, now
adding greater finesse and ease to DxO OpticsPro. The Horizon slider now makes small rotations easier to perform, and
the Dust tool is also easier to use.
