Put in OS and free download for the updater.

Many bodies , curiously even those that do not report focus distance, 
are supported.
Hmm, I see a combo that the eagle-eyed list logician might be 
interested in evaluating.

According to Chuck Westfall, the algorithm addresses many optical flaws:

"A new feature called Digital Lens Optimizer processes RAW images to 
achieve ideal optical characteristics for all types of optical 
aberration or diffraction, effects of a low-pass filter in front of a 
CMOS sensor, etc. This function improves image quality particularly in 
the image periphery in addition to the image center. This function is 
made possible because the entire design-through-manufacture process, 
for camera, CMOS sensor, EF lens, and DPP, is carried out entirely at 
Canon. Images are processed optimally using lens information in the 
image files (focal length, subject distance, and aperture) and lens 
data specially for the Digital Lens Optimizer. (However, the size of a 
.CR2 file will be two to three times larger after applying the Digital 
Lens Optimizer.) Adjustments are made for such aspects as spherical 
aberration, chromatic aberration, astigmatism, curvature of field, 
sagittal halo, chromatic aberration of magnification, axial chromatic 
aberration, diffraction, and the effects of a low-pass filter in front 
of the CMOS sensor. DPP’s Digital Lens Optimizer will be usable with 
any of 29 compatible lenses initially. It works with .CR2 files from 
EOS models released since 2006 (EOS 30D and forward)."

It see s to be very resource intensive and adds  alt data to the .cr2 
in lieu of changing out pixels--seems to be a faster way to deal with 
it.
Perhaps Adobe could reverse engineer the headers or whatever they use 
to tag the processed  new .cr2 data.

I have only seen a few 100% clips, but at low ISO seems quite good.  
Unlike DXO noise is not removed first so the deconvolution may be 
subject to producing more artifacts.
I have seen some sky junk from  this that looks easy to fix.  How it 
does in high ISO remains to be seen. Perhaps some "ringing" artifacts 
at high freq transitions but not enough stuff to look at yet.

Any takers?--price is right

Put in OS and latest  3.11.4 ver comes up as choice.
