Automatic contrast optimization with DxO Lighting

DxO Optics Pro implements a unique technology, DxO Lighting, which automatically fixes most of the contrast issues common in photography. DxO Lighting :

  • Is automatic – no intervention is required in auto mode
  • Is safe – image quality is never degraded
  • Provides local correction – each part of the image is treated separately but there are no visible seams or halos
  • Ensures consistent color and a natural look

DxO Lighting is able to automatically correct for a wide range of lighting and exposure faults or difficulties as shown in the following examples:
