When run Optics Pro is very simply to use. This is in fact what DO Labs has done with Optics Pro.

It didn’t take a rocket scientist (or mathematician) to figure out that if you can measure the errors in a system, using this information you might be able to correct them as well. For their professional test product, DxO Analyzer, they developed mathematical tools which could measure to a high degree of accuracy various optical characteristics of lenses and sensors.

DO Labsis a Paris based company that specializes in the application of mathematics to image enhancement. It generated a great deal of excitement when it was first announced at the PMA show, and much speculation about how well it would work. Optics Pro, the subject of this report, is a stand-alone program (PC and Mac) that allows images shot with specific digital cameras and lenses to be corrected for distortion, vignetting, blur (sharpness) and lateral chromatic aberration. I utilize that program in my digital camera and lens tests, and you can read more about it here.

This is not DxO Analyzer, a product that you may have read about previously on these pages, which is a professional optical test system designed by DO Labsfor use by camera and lens makers, and also reviewers. _ What Is It?įirst, I should explain what it’s not. I have no financial relationship with the company. This Review First Published - May 11, 2004ĭisclosure: I have been a beta tester of DxO Optics ProĪnd have consulted with DO Labson the development of this product.
