DxO 4.0 Beta is out

Hi all,

Anyone tried the new beta version of Dx0 Optics Pro yet ??

I did. I played with it for a while. One of the greatest improvements is the UI and the speed. It offers something similar like NX, another version of the U-point technology. However, in speed it cannot compete with RSP or Capture One LE. I cannot understand why they are not able to do that. IMHO speed is about the most important aspect of a RAW converter, besides image quality. I also get the impression that RAW converters are getting more and more complex, which I do not like. I want the converters to be simple and straightforward with minimal possibities for PP-ing (meaning changing colors, using masks (the Photoshop stuff). That's why I still prefer Capture One LE which does it fast, has a superb sharpening algorithm, render the best colors, has a superb auto exposure function and works simple.
