Here you get expandable sub-panels for White Balance, Exposure Compensation, DxO Smart Lighting, Selective Tone, DxO ClearView, Contrast, Colour Accentuation, Noise Reduction, Horizon and Crop. It’s in the Essential tools panel that the work starts. The Histogram panel is just a graphical display and there’s nothing to do here. There are six panels: Histogram, Essential Tools, Light, Color, Detail and Geometry.
When you start applying manual adjustments, OpticsPro becomes more complicated. You can make manual adjustments to your images, or you can select one of OpticsPro’s many preset image effects This is a great way of seeing what a difference the lens corrections have made, and the transformations can be startling – your lenses are often worse than you thought! Manual control Quite often, you’ll want to check your edited image against the original, and for this you press and hold the Compare button at the top of the screen. These are pretty complex, but you may not need them, because OpticsPro automatically applies a ‘DxO Standard’ preset that identifies and applies the right lens correction profile and its default raw processing settings, which include DxO’s Smart Lighting technology to subtly recover highlights and boost the shadows. In Customize mode you still have the filmstrip along the bottom, but the left side of the screen reveals image and EXIF information and on the right side you’ll see a stack of adjustment panels. You can filter out RGB (JPEG and TIFF) images from raw files and add ratings and flags to help highlight your best shots or pick out those you want to process into JPEG or raw files. It’s more like Adobe Bridge – a relatively simple folder browser – though you can create ‘virtual’ projects to pull together images from different locations without actually moving them on your hard disk. OpticsPro isn’t a full-on cataloguing tool like Lightroom. In Organize mode you use a Source Browser panel on the left of the window to locate the folders containing the photos you want to convert.
OpticsPro has two basic operating modes – Organize and Customize. This example shows the effect of the ClearView tool – it adds depth and contrast to the sky and sea in the distance
