DxO Labs Announces Optics Pro 6.5

Optics Pro is getting an update this November that will improve user experience, add camera support and introduce much desired single shot HDR functionality.

HDR rendering can take your photograph in a wild new direction, or can simply enhance what's already there. You typically need several exposures to utilize the technique, but DxO is including single shot HDR tech in the new update. "We found that, in a very large number of situations, Single Shot HDR technology reveals the full dynamic range of contrasted scenes without the need of cumbersome bracketing," explains marketing director Cyrille de La Chesnais.

The new update introduces an improved RAW conversion engine that boasts completely automatic processing and an unrivaled image quality. In addition to getting better pictures, you'll have an easier time getting them thanks to an improved user interface and streamlined workflow.
