The latest version of DxO’s raw conversion software PhotoLab 2.2 brings compatibility for Canon’s EOS R mirrorless camera as well as the Nikon Z6, the EOS M50 and the DJI Mavic 2 Zoom drone. The update also introduces corrections for a collection of lenses including models from the Canon R and Nikon Z systems, and three lenses for the Hasselblad X1D.
The company says the inclusion of the new lenses and cameras means almost 3500 new modules have been added to the package in this update, taking the total to 46,248. Nikon Z system users will now be able to access corrections for the Nikkor Z fixed focal length lenses (the Nikon Z7 was added in the last update) and Canon EOS R users will get to work on their raw files as well as to correct the RF 50mm F1.2 and the RF 24-105mm F4L. Sony users will get the benefit of corrections for five third-party lenses and Micro Four Thirds photographers will finally be able to work with images from the Panasonic Leica DG Vario 50-200mm F2.8-4.0 ASPH.

PARIS — March 6, 2019 — DxO PhotoLab, DxO’s advanced photo editing software, continues to evolve with its new update to version 2.2.

These optical modules are designed in DxO’s laboratories according to a proprietary scientific characterization process. They contain all the information about the specificities of thousands of camera/lens combinations. Further, they allow DxO solutions—DxO PhotoLab, DxO FilmPack, and DxO ViewPoint— to automatically correct such optical defects such as distortion, chromatic aberrations, and vignetting with a high level of quality. In addition, DxO PhotoLab is the only software that corrects the lack of sharpness in lenses without otherwise degrading the image. Thanks to its unique know-how, DxO now offers the best optical corrections on the market.
