Just curious if anybody has been using this product and what your opinions of it are. I downloaded a trial version (fully featured, good for a month) and ran a few pics thru it and so far I am quite pleased with it. Right now I'm processing a batch of 63 pics from the PA railroad museum to see how all the auto adjustments go. One nice thing is you can download modules for your camera body and lenses (if available) that it uses to make specific adjustments known to the body/lens combination.

any results you can post to show before and after? I haven't used it but heard it can correct some common lens issues. CA, and distortion.

I did a straight convert from RAW to max quality JPG via Photoshop CS2, and RAW to max quality JPG via DxO then resized to fit within upload limits.

For DxO I used the default setting + the Unsharp Mask checkbox, then converted.

Lens used was in their database and lens correction in both disortion and CA is obvious. If you look at the hood of the light in the detail pictures you will see CA in the PS convert (was in RAW too) that had been fixed automatically with DxO. Switching back and forth between the two full size pics really shows the distortion correction.

Note this is one picture of 63 that I did in a batch by just selecting the images, clicking the Unsharp Mask option once, clicking the process button, then let it do its thing.

Looks like it cleaned it up for CA. Glad to hear it is working for you.
