Yes, I wish it had been available for my old S2 Pro and lens combo a few years earlier. With DxO, I set up one photo with the settings I want and click on Copy Setting, then select all the other images and click Paste Setting. I then run through any that need white balance correction with the browser window and adjust as an additional setting and copy/paste again to those affected images, then run the batch process for the whole lot

@Phil – I get a lot of feedback that DxO saves time with it’s ability to do lens correction in batch mode.

I find DxO Optics Pro the best solution as a can batch process all my RAW files in one go and this corrects distortion etc and exports all my images to tif, DMG or JPEG or all three in separate folders whilst I do something else. The vignetting correction seems perfect on the Sigma 10-20mm and is way better than Lightroom

If your workflow involves Adobe Photoshop (and if not, why not?!!!), then the issue of distortions becomes a mute one.
There is a Plug-in called PT Lens that is one of the best around.
PT Lens can automatically correct for known distortions in your lens, as it reads the image EXIF data, so it knows what body & lens you shot the image with.

I gave Lightroom the arse recently, in favour of Capture NX.
The quality of my finished images has taken a significant leap forward.

I have been meaning to try DxOptics, and I might as well give Aperture a look as well. It will be interesting to see if either of these applications can render a Nikon RAW image better than the appalling job LightRoom does of it.

LensFix is another plugin that could be valuable for us RE photographers.

Larry,

Thanks for the Fisheye-Hemi info because I saw the PS plug-in has been updated from the version I’m using and downloaded it. It was a “Hot Pick” in the NAPP reviews section of PhotoShopUser magazine a while back and works pretty good. Mostly I use it in the smaller bedrooms and baths where it allows me to show 3.5 walls to provide what I call maximum visual data. Once you get used to the slight bowing where the walls meet the ceiling, the rest is proportioned the way they should be (beds, windows, etc).

Thanks for keeping us updated on these things.

Mike
