Version 1.1 available as a free upgrade for all current users of version 1.0.

Paris, France, July 12th, 2004 – Do Labs, a software company focused on research in image processing to enhance image quality, announces the immediate availability of DxO Optics Pro version 1.1 for both Macintosh and Windows.

DxO Optics Pro version 1.1 adds several key features that greatly benefit demanding photographers shooting with Digital Single Lens Reflex cameras (D-SLRs). These new features reinforce DxO Optics Pro’s strength as a pivotal tool for digital photographers worldwide concerned with image quality and productivity.

DxO Optics Pro 1.1 enhancements fall into three categories:

• Correction of Image Vignetting, or unwanted light fall-off from the center to the edges of an image, is now supported in the application.
• Multilingual user-interface: English, French, German, Japanese and Spanish.
• Productivity enhancement and fixes.

SOPHISTICATED IMAGE VIGNETTING CORRECTION:
DxO Optics Pro version 1.1 now supports the elimination of image Vignetting. Based on a precise mathematical model of the lens Vignetting and camera body Vignetting, this new feature is unlike any other Vignetting correction solution on the market:

• Fully automatic: Vignetting removal is fully automatic and requires no operator intervention. There are no sliders, curves, or parameters to worry about, yet the results are of the highest quality.
• Precise and reliable: DxO Optics Pro’s Vignetting removal technology takes into account all relevant parameters such as: lens aperture, focal length, non-linear sensor response, sensor size, etc. This ensures optimal correction for all imaging circumstances (low-light for example).
• Fast and productive: Because of its automatic nature, DxO Optics Pro Vignetting removal can be processed in batch mode. This is true even if images were shot with different cameras and lenses so long as the appropriate DxO Correction Modules are available to the DxO Correction Engine. A complete image correction in DxO Optics Pro 1.1 (Vignetting plus Distortion, Blur and Lateral Chromatic Aberration) is a matter of only a few seconds, even for images from high-end DSLRs.

UPDATED DXO CORRECTION MODULES
In order to support Vignetting correction, current DxO Correction Modules have been updated. More than three quarters of existing DxO Correction Modules are available immediately with the Vignetting update. The rest of the DxO Correction Module lineup will be updated throughout the summer. A list of updated DxO Correction Modules is available on www.dxo.com. Going forward, all new DxO Correction Modules will include Vignetting correction.

MULTILINGUAL USER INTERFACE
Users of DxO Optics Pro 1.1 are now able to switch from one user interface language to another on the fly. DxO Optics Pro 1.1 includes English, French, German, Japanese and Spanish user interfaces thus considerably broadening its appeal in international markets.

PRODUCTIVITY ENHANCEMENT AND FIXES
A number of improvements have been made in DxO Optics Pro 1.1 compared to version 1.0:

General:

• ICC Color profile is now copied over from the input image to the output image.
• DxO Optics Pro 1.1 is compatible with the most recent camera firmware updates from Canon and Nikon.
• DxO Optics Pro can now read images that have been transferred with Nikon Transfer software.
• Various optimization and speed enhancements.

Macintosh platform specific:

• Corrected images can now be read in Apple iPhoto software.
• DxO Optics Pro can now read images that have been transferred with Apple Image Capture software.
• DxO Optics Pro can now be used by multiple users on the same machine.

AVAILABILITY AND PRICING
Both the Macintosh (OS X 10.2 and above) and the Windows version (W2000 and XP) of DxO Optics Pro 1.1 are available immediately on DxO’s e-commerce site at http://store.dxo.com.

The upgrade is free of charge for all DxO Optics Pro 1.0 users. Pricing of the full version of DxO Optics Pro 1.1 is identical to that of version 1.0 and is modular depending on the number of DxO Correction Modules purchased.

Popular Photography & Imaging Selects DxO Analyzer for Use in the Magazine's Test Lab

Paris, France, July 12 , 2004 – DO Labs, a software company focused on research in image processing to enhance image quality, announces that Popular Photography & Imaging, the world's largest imaging magazine, has selected DxO Analyzer for use in their internationally acclaimed testing laboratory.

The DxO Analyzer has been installed in the Popular Photography test lab and joins the numerous instruments, databases, and computer programs that are used to generate objective test measurement data for the latest generation of digital cameras and lenses. Beginning with a feature on Anti-Shake technologies in the August 2004 issue, this DxO Analyzer data will assist the magazine's editors in evaluating camera and lens performance and image quality.

According to John Owens, Popular Photography & Imaging's senior vice president and group editorial director, “Our lab is famous for accurate and reliable state-of-art camera and lens testing and we look forward to the contribution that DxO Analyzer will make.”

DxO Analyzer adoption is fast growing worldwide
Most recently, in addition to U.S.-based Popular Photography & Imaging , the FNAC photographic test laboratory, a European leader in photographic consumer testing, also announced it has adopted DxO Analyzer software to measure the optical quality of digital cameras that they test. FNAC is a European leader in specialized distribution with 108 stores in 8 countries plus partnerships in Asia and Latin America.

The newly-published ‘FNAC file – digital cameras summer 2004' presents 60 digital cameras, all tested using DxO Analyzer. “We are always on the lookout for better tools and methods for carrying out our tests,” explains Victor Jachimowicz, director of the FNAC Test Laboratory, “The DxO Analyzer software represents a veritable revolution in digital camera image quality measurement . So it's only natural that we should incorporate it into our testing.”

Luc Marin, DO Labs' vice president of Business Development ‘Photography', adds, “We are honored that Popular Photography & Imaging has embraced our DxO Analyzer as a cornerstone of their world-renowned testing facility. We are equally pleased that FNAC, the European reference in camera testing is utilizing our DxO Analyzer and now includes it in their measurement protocols, as this only serves to further reinforce the recognition of our DxO technology.”

Introduced last February by the Paris based company DO Labs - specializing in image enhancement software - DxO Analyzer software has also made a place for itself in just a few months with top national and international enthusiast media titles as the reference tool for digital camera quality measurement – impressing international heavyweights like “Chasseurs d'Images” , “Le Photographe” , “Luminous Landscape” , “Pictchallenge” and “FOTO Digitale” .

DxO Analyzer is a software system for measuring the optical quality of digital cameras. DxO Analyzer makes it possible to very easily measure the principle phenomena affecting the quality of digital camera images: blur, noise, geometric distortion, vignetting, and chromatic aberrations, with an accuracy and level of detail never before attained .
