Breakthrough Software Application for Serious Photographers
Boosts Image Quality of Digital Cameras and Lenses
DO Labs, a software company focused on applied mathematics for
image enhancement, announces the availability of DxO(R) Optics Pro(TM)
- its revolutionary software solution for dramatically improving
digital image quality.
Designed for use by professional and discerning amateur
photographers, DxO Optics Pro software automatically corrects images
for the following major optical faults:
-- Distortion
-- Vignetting*
-- Blur (lack of sharpness)
-- Lateral chromatic aberration
DxO Optics Pro allows photographers to maximize performance of
digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras and lenses. In particular,
DxO Optics Pro optimizes image quality when shooting conditions are
difficult: wide aperture, extreme focal lengths on zooms, low-light,
image edges, wide format sensors, etc.
"In terms of enhanced image quality and workflow improvement,
reaction of early users to DxO Optics Pro has been extremely
favorable," said Luc Marin, VP of Business Development Photography, DO
Labs. "Early users noted that the improved image quality came without
undesirable side-effects. In fact, nearly 100% of early users said the
enhanced image looked as if it had been shot with a more expensive
lens rather than as the result of software manipulation!"
Unique Image Enhancement Concept
A functional DxO Optics Pro system is composed of at least three
components:
1) The DxO Correction Engine, acting as an algorithm platform,
also manages the user interface and generic image processing
libraries
2) A DxO Camera Body Correction Module, which characterizes the
camera body electronics
3) A DxO Lens Correction Module, which models the optical
characteristics and properties of the lens
Developed by DO Labs, the proprietary DxO Optics Pro Correction
Module is a sophisticated mathematical model for each type of digital
camera body and lens. A DxO Correction Module describes the initial
image performance of the camera/lens and provides the fundamental
mathematical 'solution' to removing image faults and boosting image
quality.
DxO Optics Pro automatically takes into account all the variable
parameters that are relevant for the correction (focal length,
aperture, ISO, etc.). Provided the relevant DxO Correction Modules are
installed, DxO Optics Pro will automatically correct a batch of images
shot with different camera bodies, lenses, settings, etc. DxO Optics
Pro only takes seconds to correct even large images produced by
high-end DSLRs.
DxO Camera Body and Lens Correction Modules Availability
DxO Optics Pro software will be available for download on the DxO
Optics PRO E-Store (http://store.dxo.com) beginning May 24, 2004. It
will run on Windows (W2000 or XP) and on Macintosh (OS X) for the
following DxO Camera Body Correction Modules: Canon EOS 10D, Canon
Digital Rebel / 300D / Kis Digital, Nikon D100, and Nikon D70 along
with numerous compatible DxO Lens Corrections Modules. Visit
www.dxo.com for a list of specific compatible lens modules. And coming
this summer will be the Nikon D2H, Canon 1D Mark II, and Canon 1Ds
with popular lenses.
DO Labs will be releasing new DxO Correction Modules on a monthly
basis. Future DxO Correction Modules will be announced on www.dxo.com.
DO Labs is also introducing an initial 25% launch discount on all
orders placed before June 30th, 2004. Depending on configuration,
pricing begins at US $95 to circa US $400 for a high-end
configuration. Please visit www.dxo.com for prices.
About DO Labs and its DxO Technology
DO Labs SA is a software company focused on research in applied
mathematics for digital image enhancement. The roots of the company
come out of the most advanced academic mathematical research with
strong ties to leading universities and research labs and a
prestigious Scientific Committee.
The company's patented DxO technology produces genuine,
perceptible improvements in the quality of any digital image. DxO is a
set of software components that measures and corrects major faults
found in imaging devices: Blur, Local Contrast, Distortion,
Vignetting, Chromatic aberration, Jpeg artifacts, etc.
DxO Correction offers key benefits that make it an
industrial-grade solution:
-- DxO produces optimum image correction;
-- DxO is robust: DxO will never damage image quality;
-- DxO is automatic: No human intervention is required;
-- DxO is real time: it can be easily embedded in any real-time
workflow (ARM, DSP, ASIC) inside imaging devices such as
digital still cameras or camera phones; in a PC at driver
level, a server; or in digital photofinishing minilab
equipment.
