While at one point in the not-so-distant past, asset management software designers had the not-so-bright idea of creating systems that forced users to import all their images directly into a digital organizer, that’s thankfully changed. Here’s a short take on what I thought about this all-in-one imaging package from the France-based company DxO Labs. But after seeing a demo of DxO Optics Pro 8 at PhotoPlus International Conference + Expo last year, I have been intrigued by some of the new features and decided to take it for a spin. Mostly it’s because I’ve become a little burned out on this type of software since so much of it I can do in Photoshop with the help of Bridge and a few plug-ins. Though I’ve tried seemingly every one of these programs, I had never gotten around to testing DxO Optics Pro, for one reason or another. In that respect it’s similar to Adobe’s Lightroom, Apple’s Aperture, and all the other digital asset management, RAW conversion and editing packages that have flooded the photography market since 2005. DxO Optics Pro 8 is of that multipurpose school of imaging software that does a little bit of everything and does much of it well.
