High ISO Turned Into Reality

At low ISO settings, digital photographers have gotten used to extraordinary image quality with a total absence of grain. Alas, when pushing ISO settings, image quality typically falls rapidly, exhibiting the extreme noise and digital grain photographers have been equating with extreme ISO.

Now, with DxO Optics Pro RAW conversion technology, such images retain their details and colors while their texture remains natural and soft.

The noise removal technology for RAW images featured in DxO Optics Pro provides photographers with up to a 2-stop gain compared to any other RAW converter, as if digital grain never really existed. Thanks to DxO Optics Pro v5.3, high ISO settings really deliver the usable exposure latitude that photographers demand.

The extra exposure latitude can be used to freeze motion, increase depth-of-field or capture images in lower lighting conditions than are possible today--or even get rid of flash guns altogether!. Alternatively photographers may prefer to use cheaper lighter lenses with smaller apertures instead, relying on DxO Optics Pro 5.3 to compensate for the lower exposure.

This opens up a world of new possibilities, especially for fields such as in-door sport photography and travel photography…

Very thin noise

The noise correction performed by DxO Optics Pro on high RAW images produces a very thin grain, which allows to get rid of a flash gun in many cases.

Very saturated colors

When alternate noise reduction technologies tend to desaturate colors to hide chrominance noise, DxO Optics Pro ensures vivid and saturated colors even at high ISO in low light areas.
