This very simple process lets users transfer their RAW images in one click from the Lightroom cataloguer toDxO Optics Pro, process them, and then return them to Lightroom in DNG format, which retains the qualitiesof a RAW file so as to facilitate additional processing.

The dual non-destructive flow gives users optimal flexibility right through to the final adjustments to theirphotos.

Accessible directly from Lightroom, this workflow puts all of DxO’s image quality know-how into the hands ofAdobe software users:

• – The efficiency of its exclusive PRIME technology in eliminating noise, even under the most extreme

  shooting conditions;

• – The power and precision of its optical corrections which, based on the calibration of each

  camera/lens combination, eliminates distortion, chromatic aberrations, and vignetting, as well as

  restores image sharpness;

• – The intelligent exposure optimization of its DxO Smart Lighting feature, which among other things

  allows for perfect recovery of highlights.
