New in DxO FilmPack 5.1.0 Build 410 (Jan 28, 2015)

  • First appearing in version 5.0.1 of the software, the identity cards of available film presets give users access to information about the films that made photographic history: creation date, characteristics, grain type, uses, and anecdotes. A veritable encyclopedia of analog film, this database was updated in version 5.1 to allow users to create their own descriptions of custom presets.

New in DxO FilmPack 5.0.1 Build 345 (Dec 5, 2014)

  • DxO FilmPack v5.0.1 supports the following cameras: Canon EOS 7D Mark II and PowerShot G7 X, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS40.

New in DxO FilmPack 5.0.0 Build 336 (Nov 18, 2014)

  • Coming in two new editions – ESSENTIAL and ELITE – DxO FilmPack 5 is immediately available as a plugin for DxO OpticsPro. Plugins for Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Elements, and Apple Aperture, as well as the standalone application for Mac and PC.
  • 16 new very-high-fidelity analog film renderings:
  • Perpetuating the legend of analog photography, DxO FilmPack 5 expands its palette with 16 new remarkable films. Adox CHS 100 II, Bergger BRF 400 PLUS, Foma Fomapan 100 Classic, Fujifilm Neopan 400, and even Ilford Pan 100: DxO FilmPack 5 gives pride of place to the best of the black & white films. With Fuji Superia X-Tra 400, Kodak Portra 400, and Adox Color Implosion, films known for their authentic or creative colors are also honored
  • In order to perfectly reproduce the grain, the quality, and the style of these legendary films, DxO has followed a rigorous scientific process of taking photos of specific laboratory and real-life targets with the analog film: having the film developed by the world’s leading professional laboratories (PICTO and Arka in France, and Duggal in the U.S.), and then digitizing the images following strict and proven procedure. Because of these exclusive calibration technologies, DxO FilmPack 5 offers a palette of renderings whose fidelity has achieved a new and unequaled quality in the field.
  • More faithfully-reproduced colors with RAW format:
  • To let photographers apply even more faithfully-reproduced analog film renderings, DxO FilmPack 5 now supports RAW format. This new support allows the software to fully exploit the all of the calibrated camera data, so as to better restore color, and to increase the effectiveness of DxO FilmPack’s automatic Color Protection processing.
  • RAW format also has another advantage for the photographer: all of the optical flaws of the photographer’s equipment – distortion, vignetting, and chromatic aberrations – are automatically corrected, and DxO FilmPack’s high-performing RAW denoising eliminates undesirable digital noise to obtain the perfect analog film grain.
  • Even more powerful images, thanks to new Micro-contrast:
  • DxO FilmPack 5 offers a new Micro-contrast tool that brings out relief as well as details in images. Using a multi-scale filter that blurs the details while preserving the marked contours in an image, contrast is visibly reinforced — ideal for increasing the intensity of a landscape photo or giving portraits a strong look, particularly in black & white.
  • Improved tools for greater creative possibilities:
  • DxO FilmPack 5 has enriched its tools to let users explore new creative possibilities. The Toning tool lets users apply a colored effect separately to shadows and dark tones, thus gaining greater flexibility and bringing greater authenticity to the simulation of historical photo colors. The Blur tool has also been simplified and now offers two new modes: Vignetting, for applying an effect along the perimeter of the image and thus directing attention to a subject; and Soft Focus, for reproducing an artistically blurry effect that is ideal for portraits.
  • An entirely redesigned interface:
  • DxO FilmPack offers an entirely redesigned interface that is even easier and more intuitive to master. Its new 16:9 format provides even more space for the image for increased comfort when working. The new integrated file explorer lets users choose their work directory, preview the images it contains, and open them directly in the application for editing. Renderings, effects, and settings have been consolidated into a single lateral control panel for quicker access, and their categorization has been redesigned to provide more nuanced selection.
  • Availability:
  • DxO FilmPack 5 is immediately available as a plugin for DxO OpticsPro in our online store. Plugins for Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Elements, and Apple Aperture, as well as the standalone application for Mac and PC, will be available starting in mid-November. Photographers who immediately acquire the DxO FilmPack 5 plugin for DxO OpticsPro will be able to download the standalone application and other plugins for free from their customer account as soon as they are available.

  • The quality of Agfa Scala 200x and Kodak Ektar 100 faithfully reproduced:
  • DxO FilmPack v4.5 enhances its selection of film renderings with two new films: the legendary Agfa Scala 200x, a now-discontinued black & white slide film that offers an extraordinarily nuanced palette, exceptional patterning, and a high level of detail, and the luminous Kodak Ektar 100, an ultra-vivid color-negative film with very fine grain.
