When you fire up DxO Optics Pro 9 the user interface is well presented, easy to navigate and I found it very intuitive to use. The company has also enhanced its export tools and workflow options. It also has DxO Smart Lighting which intelligently adapts to image contents and can be further enhanced by using it in conjunction with modules that can be downloaded from the DxO website optimised for the camera and lens used.Īlso added on Pro 9 are new presets such as Portrait, Landscape, Black & White and Single-Shot HDR. New features on the Pro 9 version include PRIME noise reduction circuitry, which is claimed to give you one full stop when shooting compared with anything else on the market. Now, having lived with and played with Pro 9 for a while, it is easy to see why. Impressive it was, too, and it was certainly wowing the crowds. If you were at The Photography Show recently at the NEC in Birmingham, you would have seen the guys from DxO Optics doing a slideshow presentation of the latest Pro 9 version of their photo processing software.
