Interface and workflow

Everything starts in the “Select” tab, where you select the images you want to process and drop them in the Project window. You can then simply click on "Process Now" and let DxO Optics Pro take care of everything painlessly and automatically — this is the quickest and simplest way to start enhancing your pictures!

The "Select" tab

The “Prepare” tab is the place where more advanced users may want to take advantage of some or all of DxO Optics Pro’s sophisticated correction adjustment possibilities, and/or make use of time-saving DxO Presets.

At this stage it is also possible to:

• edit images with a color code (Green for images to be processed, Red for images not to be processed, Orange for image whose status hasn’t been decided)
• create virtual copies (snapshots) of images, in order to create several corrected versions of the same images.
• And much, much more

The "Customize" tab

As soon as you are satisfied with the presets and settings you have applied to your selected images, you can move on to the “Process” tab where you specify where you want corrected images to be saved, under which format, at which resolution. Once this has been set, you hit the “Start Processing” button and DxO Optics Pro processes your images.

The "Process" tab

Naturally enough, once processing is finished, you will want to view your images, and the ”View” tab will let you compare your pictures before and after correction. You can always re-process one or more images to see the effects of other settings.

You will find on the Tutorials page additional information about how to use DxO Optics Pro.
