I was curious how Canon\'s new Digital Lens Optimizer (DLO) would work. It\'s a feature found in the latest DPP that was included with the 5D3. Canon has not made the latest DPP available for download yet. But I was able to acquire a copy through unofficial means.
To appy the DLO feature, DPP will need to download profiles for each of your lenses. The profile for my 24-105L was over 50 megabytes big! Applying DLO to a RAW file is also very processor intensive. It takes my desktop computer nearly 40 seconds to process just one RAW file. It also doubles the size of the RAW file.
Is it worth all that trouble? Judge for yourselves...
EOS 5D Mark II with 17-40L
f/16 @ 1/60 sec @ ISO 200
I selected an f/16 exposure because Canon claims DLO can partially reverse the effects of diffraction. RAW file was processed through DPP and chromatic aberration corrected for all. Converted to TIFF. Created 100% crops and saved as Quality 10 JPEGs. First set have no sharpening applied to either images. Next set will have some sharpening applied to both.
EDIT: It looks like the image hosting site (tinypic) has resampled the original JPEG files to a much, much lower bitrate. That wasn\'t the case when I started this thread last night. I\'m guessing the files must\'ve reached a bandwidth limit at tinypic. These sample crops are no longer representative of what they originally looked like coming out of DPP.
