![]() ViewPoint 2.5 offers advanced perspective corrections, while FilmPack 5 replicates the look of classic films, darkroom processes and cheap cameras. FilmPack 5 costs £39.ĭxO's FilmPack 5, bought separately, works as a standalone program and a perfectly-integrated Optics Pro 10 plug-in.ĭxO Optics Pro now integrates directly with DxO's ViewPoint 2.5 and FilmPack 5 programs. But FilmPack 5 does reproduce film 'looks' really well, whether you're going for a technically correct black and white film rendition or a dreamy, retro colour image. It's quite ironic that DxO should go to such lengths to get 'perfect' renditions from cameras and lenses, and then design a program designed to replicate all the flaws, weaknesses and failings of analog film and old cameras. It means paying another £39, however, to get ViewPoint 2.5. In Optics Pro 10, however, DxO has migrated the geometric (perspective) corrections completely to ViewPoint 2.5. ![]() In previous versions of DxO Optics Pro there was considerable crossover between the geometric corrections in Optics Pro and those in ViewPoint. ![]() This means you can correct converging verticals in architectural shots, but also fix the distortion that makes people's heads (and other objects) look unnaturally elongated at the edge of the frame in wideangle shots. Perhaps its most interesting feature is its Volume Deformation correction – it fixes wideangle distortion at the edges of the frame to restore correct object proportions. ![]() When used in conjunction with DxO Optics Pro it appears in its own panel in the tools sidebar and extends Optics Pro's geometric perspective and correction tools. ViewPoint 2.5 works both as a standalone program and as a plug-in – and not just for DxO Optics Pro, but for Photoshop and Lightroom too. DxO ViewPoint and FilmPackĭxO makes two other programs – ViewPoint 2.5 and FilmPack – which can now integrate with Optics Pro as plug-ins. It's worth it, though, because DxO Optics Pro's raw conversions are quite superb – the difference in detail rendition and noise control compared to Adobe Camera Raw (supplied with Photoshop CC 2014 and built into Lightroom 5) is immediately obvious. ![]()
