DxO OpticsPro

DxO OpticsPro is software which corrects various optical aberrations, notably image distortion, with corrections tuned to particular lenses and cameras. It also adjusts lighting and color rendering. The software reads the Exif file to gather information about the camera, the lens and the settings that were used.

Its automatic optical adjustment can fix:[2]

  • Distortion of curved line (should be straight)
  • Color fringes
  • Light fall off of vignetting
  • Make same sharpness from center to corners

DxO ViewPoint

DxO ViewPoint allows the user to correct perspective and lens distortions, especially those caused by shooting with wide-angle lenses when the subject is not in the middle of the frame.[3]

DxO Analyzer is a suite of software tools, test targets, and test equipment used by camera companies as well as press publications and websites to test sensors, lenses, and standalone cameras, as well as mobile devices with cameras. Testing can be performed on both RAW and JPEG images, as well as video. DxO Analyzer is also the analysis engine behind the company's DxOMark image quality rating website.[5][6][7] Results can be displayed either numerically or graphically.[8]

DxO Analyzer includes modules for testing optics, sensors, stabilization, video, timing, and 3D features.[9]
