DxO Updates OpticsPro With New Search Engine
11 March 2015
In addition to the usual expanded camera support and new Optics modules that arrive with every update to DxO Optics Pro, the company has added a new search engine to the Source Browser. Type the name of the image file and you're there. And the OS X version now supports drag-and-drop from the desktop.
Support has been added for the Nikon D5500, Canon PowerShot SX60 HS and Olympus PEN E-PL7 in this version. And an additional 422 camera/lens combinations are included in the Optics modules library, bringing the total to over 23,000 modules.
A few refinements have been to the interface including a reworking of the correction tools. The Horizon slider now makes small rotations easier to perform and the Dust tool is also easier to resize, the company said. The Enter key validates corrections and closes the active tool.
The best news, though, may be that the new version will be available "at a special discount" through March 31 at the DxO online store. Trial versions of DxO's software are available on the DxO Web site.
