DxO has announced the 4.0 Update to PureRAW which adds a new and improved generation of its Denoising AI, improved workflows, and sets a new industry standard for RAW image quality enhancements.
Following an exciting week of CES announcements, this week has been rather calm in the tech world. There have, however, been some software announcements from the likes of Nikon, Sony, and DxO that are worthwhile and important.
DxO PhotoLab and FilmPack Version 7 promise to bring improved and more powerful editing tools as well as a more personalized workflow.
DxO has announced version 6.3 of the Nik Collection photo editing suite of plug-ins for Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom Classic which brings a completely redesigned user interface (UI) that is meant to bring greater stability, speed, and a more refined editing experience for its users.
DxO has released version 6 of the Nik Collection photo editing suite of plug-ins for Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom Classic.
The French photo software company DxO has released an update to its Optics Modules that it says will give photographers the best possible performance from their camera and lens combinations, correcting lens imperfections and softness with "unparalleled precision".
DxO's 3.0 update to PureRAW adds the company's latest artificial intelligence (AI) technology "DeepPRIME XD" which improves noise reduction, RAW enhancements, and gives better control over which corrections are applied through the DxO Optics Modules without reducing the "one-click" functionality.
DxO has announced an update to the PhotoLab software which brings much more powerful control over color, allowing users to simulate ink and paper combinations when soft proofing.
DxO says its Optic Modules are able to offer photo corrections at an unparalleled level and target sharpness and distortion at specific areas of an image to improve quality more accurately.
DxO has announced updates to its PhotoLab 6 and Viewpoint 4 software packages adding artificially intelligent (AI)-powered features and new tools for photographers.
DxO has announced that users of any of its titles -- DxO PhotoLab 5, PureRAW 2, ViewPoint 3, FilmPack 6, and Nik Collection 5 -- now have access to more than 75,000 camera and lens combinations, which it touts as the world's most comprehensive.
DxO has released version 5 of the Nik Collection photo editing suite of plug-ins for Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom Classic. This latest version includes major updates for Color Efex and Analog Efex, as well as improved local adjustment tools, an overall smoother user experience, 29 new film emulations, and a brand new tool to reduce haze.
Photoshop and Lightroom are mainstays in most photographers’ workflows for a reason. While other options abound, no other set of programs matches the popularity and widespread adoption of Adobe’s signature photography software. But while Photoshop’s manipulation capabilities and Lightroom’s processing and editing power are certainly robust, both offer even more power beyond the software itself in the form of plugins.
DxO has announced the 2.0 update to PureRAW. It features several significant additions like support for Fujifilm X-Trans files.
DxO has announced updates to PhotoLab 5 and FilmPack 6. PhotoLab 5 has enhanced local adjustments and a more powerful photo library, while FilmPack 6 adds new film emulations, cinemagraphic renderings, and support for Fujifilm RAW files.
DxO has announced the version 1.5 update of the AI-powered RAW processor software PureRAW.
DxO's new Nik Collection 4 comes with several new features and upgrades but still retains the familiar workflow and film simulations fans are looking for. The subtle changes make for an easy transition for long-time users and are bound to attract new interested photographers, too.
DxO has released version 4 of the Nik Collection photo editing plugins. It contains major improvements to the U Point technology, seamless interactions with Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom through the leveraging of smart objects, as well as a new and improved set of Meta presets.
Today, DxO launched PureRaw, an application that uses "exclusive technology" to enhance and improve RAW images by removing digital noise and lens flaws, leaving you with a cleaner and more accurate image.
DxO has announced the availability of PhotoLab 4.1, a free update to those who already own DxO PhotoLab 4. The update brings support for Apple M1 computers, an improved HSL tool, and adds five additional camera profiles.
In celebration of its 25th anniversary of creating plugins for Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom as well as DxO PhotoLab, Nik Software has announced Version 3.3 which includes a pack of 25 new presets for Color Efex Pro and Silver Efex Pro.
DxO PhotoLab 4 is the company's latest update to its photo editing software powered by a new technology it calls DeepPRIME, a "revolutionary" demosaicing and denoising technology based on artificial intelligence and "trained with deep learning."
Since acquiring the popular Nik Collection of photo editing plugins from Google back in 2017, DxO has released several minor updates. Now, nearly three years later, they've finally debuted a major refresh. Nik Collection 3 comes with a new plugin launcher, a brand new perspective plugin called Perspective Efex, and more.
Fan's of the Nik Collection plugin suite—formerly owned by Google, currently owned by DxO—got a new update today. With the Nik Collection 2.5, DxO has added five new film simulations to Color Efex Pro 4, as well as full compatibility for users of the popular program Affinity Photo.
Software company DxO has released the latest version of DxO PhotoLab, a program they're calling "the most advanced photo editing software on the market in terms of image quality." We don't know about all that, but the new DxO PhotoLab 3 does come with some very interesting new features, especially where color management is concerned.
The Nik Collection very much back from the dead. DxO just announced the release of Nik Collection 2, a major update to the popular plugin suite for Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, and Photoshop Elements.
The Nik Collection is finally getting its long-awaited update. DxO has just announced Nik Collection 2018, the first major new version of the popular software suite under the ownership of DxO.
DxO Labs today announced that it has filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection, confirming reports of the move that emerged last week.
DxO Labs has reportedly gone into receivership as a bankruptcy proceeding is opened in France. The company is mum on what exactly is going on behind the scenes but says its customers shouldn't be affected by the financial and legal situation.
DxO recently announced that it has acquired the Nik Collection suite of popular photo tools after Google abandoned development in May. The Collection is still available as a free download and can be run as standalone programs independent of Photoshop and Lightroom. Here’s how.
The popular Nik Collection of photo editing software will live on. Just months after Google said that it was abandoning the brand and ending development, DxO has just announced that it has acquired Nik Collection from Google and will continue development "for the benefit of the photographer community."
DxOMark's camera ratings are becoming more and more influential in the camera and smartphone industries. But how exactly do the scores work? Here's an 11-minute video in which tech personality Marques Brownlee (AKA MKBHD) shares "the truth about DxOMark smartphone ratings."
Thanks to DxO Labs, we get to end this week with a freebie. If you're interested in mixing up your post-processing workflow, you can get a free, no-strings-attached license for DxO OpticsPro 9 between now and February 28th.
This is a big week for new top-tier gear at DxOMark. First, they crowned the Canon 1D X Mark II the best Canon sensor they've ever tested, and now the affordable Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary has been named DxO's top-ranking Sony E-Mount prime.
When Sony announced the QX-100, I jumped on Amazon and pre-ordered it immediately. It seemed to solve the most obvious problems I had with smartphone photography quality: a larger sensor, better low light performance, and better optics. But upon receiving it, the deficiencies quickly became apparent. The display-less design required you to use Wi-Fi to pair it with your camera -- a frustratingly slow experience. I tried shooting blind, but the lens barrel design gave you no indication of whether the image was straight. And finally, the thing wasn’t pocketable.
DxO Labs, the French software company known for photo software and gear tests, made a huge announcement today by unveiling a camera of its own. Called the DxO ONE, it's a pocket-sized 20.2 megapixel camera that aims to combine DSLR-quality with the convenience of smartphone photography.
If you missed your chance to snag a free license for DxO FilmPack 3 last September/October when they were handing them out for free, you're in luck! The company is at it again, and this time you have until August 15th to grab a quality piece of film emulation software for the price of 'on the house.'
The verdict is in, again. After giving Nikon’s D810 a spin, DxOMark has officially declared the D800 successor the king of sensors. While the improvements to the mid-term update may seem marginally small, DxOMark reports these minor tweaks provide “an excellent result” in improvements.
The DxO Mark verdict is finally in for the much-lauded Sony A7s, and as you might expect, it steals the low-light crown from the Nikon Df handily. The problem is, it seems to fall short of its main competition (the other two A7 cameras) in every other category.
Up until now, when exporting a RAW image from Lightroom to another program to work on, Lightroom first had to convert it to a JPEG or TIFF image. This effectively rendered shooting in RAW useless if you were wanting to do much outside editing on the images. Here to change that though is DxO with Optics Pro 9.5.
