I've largely given up using it as it doesn't provide enough benefit to justify jumping through their hoops. I've used DxO for several years and have stuck with the product since the primitive, slow and difficult to use version 3 of the product to the latest version 5 update.

DxO produces either linear DNG's (which have few advantages over TIFF as linear DNG's are similar in size to full res TIFF files) or TIFF files, so outputs essentially the same files as DPP.ĭxO offers some additional function over DPP in terms of removal of wide-angle perspective distortion and some other functions, but as these are more specific to individual images, these functions generally aren't part of a smooth workflow that deals with many images at one time. It produces corrected TIFF files that can then be adjusted in Photoshop.ĭxO is far from free, applies to only those lens and body combinations for which DxO decides to provide applicable modules, and in my experience not only strips lens Exif data from the resulting file (DNG or TIFF), but also has had some problems with raw conversion (random white spots), neither of which have been resolved by DxO support.

Correct the images in DPP and stitch them togetherĭPP is free and generally applies to almost all Canon bodies and lenses and many feel it does a good job with raw conversions. I just use the 17-40 17mm & take more then one shot. Personally I gave up on correcting a fisheye
But lines are still not straight if they are close.

So any camera with a corresponding sensor size should be the same?Ĭan't be bothered to download the trial version, installing it and trying that little hack and find out it doesn't work and having to uninstall it again, too much hassle.Įven if it works it's still too much hassle.įisheye Hemi is excellent with the Canon 15mm F2.8 fisheye. I would think that the actual optical correction would be dependent on lens characteristics vs a given sensor size. Why not just edit the exif data to a supported camera/lens combo? Show more →Īnother thing is, it seems that I have to have a DXO account or one of their product when I fill in the Contact Form. At first they had almost nothing for the 5D2, and in the last month or so started kicking out a bunch of them, enough that I can actually start using it again. I do have to say though, the speed at which they are releasing new modules seems to be picking up a bit. Maybe they enjoy alienating their customers. but at the rate new bodies are being released these days, they will never catch up at this rate! I guess it's a priority thing with limited resources to do the testing. They will release a lens for one body, but not others. I'd think that if they have a lens for testing, it should not take them long to develop a module for ALL the bodies that use it. They do seem to have a strange pattern for releasing modules. I was gonna buy it but I don't wanna have to ask DXO to support the lens first. They must've lost quite a few potential customers because of that. That Tokina fisheye for example, it's supported for 400D but not for 450D, why? not many requests? Kinda silly if they're waiting for a request before offering support. I have to say the lens/camera support is somewhat strange. I'll bet they have recieved many inquiries about that.
I know that's got to be a very common combination. I just updated my module catalog and was surprised to find they still don't have a module for the 17-40 L on a 5D MkII. I don't know if there is a way to send in a suggestion for a desired lens/camera combination, though I'm sure they must get user suggetions somehow. There is no way for the user to try and experiment with a "close match".

I guess it's useless for me then.Ĭorrect, the software reads the EXIF data and applies the corresponding lens correction module. You can use all the other features though. I can answer only one for you - if DXO does not have the exact matching body and lens modules it will not provide any optical correction functions. Last but not least, any suggestion on a software to defish the Tokina? I tried Fisheye Hemi and it's pretty much useless. Would it still work somewhat or am I just being silly here?

I also need Optics Pro to defish my Tokina 10-17mm but while it supports this lens with 400D/XTi, it doesn't support it with my 450D/XSi. Is one better than the other in terms of sharpness/saturation/contrast/etc.?
