The DPNow office is situated in an old Victorian building, known as the 'Cottage' - although it's actually considerably larger than a typical cottage, and used to be an office building - part of the John Dickinson paper mill. Parts of the building, which I understand pre-dates the Victorians, are not very straight, and this window is one example. I used DxO Optics Pro to fix some optical distortion and to optimise the RAW image overall, and then finished it off in Lightroom 3, cropping and desaturating the image to suite the cold and grey conditions outside today.

#1Stephen commentedEditing a commentInteresting and nicely exposed shot. Did you find using DxO easier than LR3 for adjusting optical exposure. Or is it simply a case of the camera and lens modules being available in DxO and not in LR3. I have found that because LR3 has many Canon lens presets as well as the geometry adjustment, that its often easier to stay in LR3

#2Ian commentedEditing a commentI knew that the exposure would be challenging and indeed there is some lost highlight detail in the snow near the bushes, so I thought let DxO Optics Pro 6 take the strain with its highly effective exposure optimisations. It also corrected some barrel distortion and cleaned up some noise. I don't have a lot of time each day for these photos, so I need to work quickly. I don't have any Lightroom correction modules for the camera and lens I used today (Olympus E-30 and 12-60mm zoom), but DxO does support this combination of body and lens.

#3Stephen commentedEditing a commentThanks for the info Ian, as I suspected DxO has the camera and lens correction modules. Adobe and LR3 seems to let itself down badly in this respect, Canon & Nikon being the main manufacturers they support with a few exceptions. It seems they don't consider it their job to create them, though there is a kit I believe that they supply to help individuals do their own
