DxO Optics Pro 6.5 introduces exclusive Single Shot HDR technology for optimized rendering of contrasted scenes.
Other new features include improved RAW conversion, Lightroom 3 support, speed enhancement, and increased cameras and lenses support.
Single Shot HDR technology
While multi-shot HDR is becoming increasingly popular, to render both highlight and shadow details in scenes with extreme contrast, DxO Optics Pro 6.5 Single Shot HDR technology brings the power of HDR rendering to photographers working with a single RAW image.
“We found that, in a very large number of situations, Single Shot HDR technology reveals the full dynamic range of contrasted scenes without the need of cumbersome bracketing.” explains Cyrille de La Chesnais, Director Sales & Marketing for DxO Labs’ Photography business. “It widens picture taking opportunities in harsh lighting conditions such as backlight, opens up creative possibilities until now only available under dedicated shooting conditions and gives legacy pictures a potential new life.”
Single Shot HDR technology is made possible by combining DxO Optics Pro’s enhanced automatic local exposure correction with unsurpassed shadow noise removal, ensuring high-quality results from a single shot RAW image, even when aggressive tone mapping is required to bring out the details in every part of the image.
Improved RAW conversion engine for 100% automatic processing and unrivaled image quality
Considered by many professional photographers as the benchmark of RAW conversion quality and noise removal, this newest version of DxO Optics Pro further reduces low frequency color and luminance noise at any ISO ranging from 100 to 100,000, delivering more natural images.
DxO Labs’ unique knowledge of sensor calibration and noise characterization allows DxO Optics Pro to automatically adapt noise removal for each image, delivering the ultimate image quality with no laborious manual tuning. DxO Optics Pro automatically applies optimal noise removal, along with optimal lighting and optics corrections appropriate for any supported photographic equipment.
Improved User Experience
The integration of DxO Optics Pro into the Lightroom 3 workflow now provides photographers with the best of both image processing and image management worlds.
When running DxO Optics Pro on computers equipped with OpenCL compatible graphic cards, users will enjoy up to 25% productivity increase, both in terms of user interface reactivity, and also in terms of batch processing time reduction.
Numerous improvements often based on customer feedback have been integrated in this version, such as a new large preview window for detailed inspection of images before adding them a Project.
Additional Camera Support
DxO Optics Pro has long been recognized for its unrivaled automatic optical fault correction based on DxO Optics Modules — laboratory-grade mathematical models defining optical faults, including the exclusive lens softness, of each particular camera & lens combination. More than 2,500 DxO Optics Modules have been made available in the last six years, and this number will grow at an accelerated pace of 600 per quarter in 2011, to reach a total of 5,000 by the end of that year.
Both the Standard and Elite editions of DxO Optics Pro v6.5 now include support for the following Canon, Pentax and Sony cameras:
This contest is centered on your own creative perspective. It is not limited by subject matter, but extra effort should be taken to show a unique perspective. This can be literal, as in a bird’s eye or worm’s eye view, or conceptual, as an interesting way of viewing the world around us. Have fun with it! (Note: I’ve attached some images that show different types of perspective…just to help get the creative juices flowing )
The winning image(s) will be selected based on both overall image quality and the introduction of new and exciting perspectives. The winner(s) will receive their choice of one Topaz product from this page and have the possibility for further promotion (website, Topaz Monthly, etc). If you already have all of our our Bundle products, you will receive a free credit for our upcoming product released.
This contest will end on November 30, 2010. The winner(s) will be announced on (or around) December 10, 2010.

1. Fixes a phenomenon in which movies are not taken at the shooting mode registered in the user’s settings if a shooting mode Aperture priority (or Shutter priority) is registered in any of the camera’s user settings (C1, C2, C3) and the user attempts to shoot a movie.
2. Fixes a phenomenon in which the shutter will not release when pressing the shutter button when the auto power off function is set to “on”.
3. Fixes a phenomenon in which overexposure occurs when shooting a Live View shooting simulation with the ISO speed set to L.
4. Fixes a phenomenon in which the settings of the Speedlite transmitter ST-E2 revert to the default settings when both the camera and the ST-E2 are set to auto power off.
5. Fixes a phenomenon in which the Macro Ring Lite (MR-14EX, MT-24EX) and slave flash do not sync while shooting wirelessly.
The Version 2.0.8 firmware being released this time is for cameras with firmware up to Version 2.0.7. If the camera’s firmware is already Version 2.0.8, it is not necessary to update the firmware.
The D3S digital SLR cameras and AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED lenses ordered by NASA will be carried on the Space Shuttle and used to photograph activities at the International Space Station (ISS) .
Nikon has spent many years contributing to NASA’s study of space through the development and manufacture of advanced and extremely durable cameras as well as of NIKKOR lenses that make the most of Nikon’s optical technologies, and of which production has recently reached fifty million units. To date, NASA has captured more than 700,000 images using Nikon equipment carried into space. Space, however, is not the only extreme environment in which Nikon equipment is used. Nikon also provides official observation equipment used in exploring the Antarctic. Nikon equipment contributes to observation and research of these little explored regions with durability, reliability and technical capabilities that stand up to even the most severe environments.
