DXO does get sales from FilmPack and Viewpoint from Photolab customers as add-ons. The NIK collection may be a viable individual product but Viewpoint and Filmpack are unlikely to be viable products on their own. Selling an “extra” product seems like a good idea but DXO need to recognise that Photolab is their main product. I agree with you in general, but my feeling is that DXO have too many products for today’s market. * no, can’t be, the tripod was out of it’s container and although an underpowered Gitzo Series 1, the head did have a panorama scale. But from t he DAM I would benefit each time I start the app. So, not something for auto-pano.Īnd if I have some images of a mountain chain which is in shadow on the left side – why would I like to make the pano unbelievable with too bright shadows? I want DxO to come up with a better DAM - for less than 10 panos per years I don’t need them to put a lot of resources into. The middle part could not be auto stitched, AP needed some help, some masking and transforming. For the vignetting there’s no lens profile for the old Mamiya 55/2.8, and even if it was, it would have to be reversed. That’s from 4 digitized MF Negatives, 30 years old, handheld* withy maybe only 10-15% overlap, with vignetting and negative to positive conversion. Once I also thought “should be possible in RAW” but since I only occasionally do Panos, I’m very happy with Affinity Photo. Potentially HDR could be included in a Film Pack 6 but separate module in this case makes more sense to me. Make HDR a full-fledged DxO citizen with a dedicated module. This does not mean including every geometric method of panorama but making sure that the methods which are included are the very best. I do not want a half-working panorama tool which is worse than what’s in Affinity or Photoshop or the existing open source panorama tools. Making the tool freestanding and not part of Photolab puts more pressure on DxO to assure the quality of a potential panorama tool. I’ll happily pay for an integrated panorama tool if it’s good. As panoramas are built with already developed images, I’d be keener for DxO to improve the Affinity Photo integration here making it easier to open up a panorama set in Affinity Photo than to build a mediocre panorama tool.Īs I’m a huge fan of DxO software, I’d be happy to see a separate Panorama module like ViewPoint (or better yet, Panoramas added to a ViewPoint 4). Free code libraries for stitching are, unless I’m mistaken, used by many stitching softwares.Īs others have mentioned, Affinity Photo has made a huge effort recently with their Panorama tool.
