Even high-end lenses lose sharpness at wide apertures or toward the edges. DxO PhotoLab’s Lens Sharpness tool uses precise optical measurements to restore clarity more effectively than generic sharpening.
Wide apertures, optical imperfections, diffraction and focus variances all reduce sharpness. Most sharpening tools create halos — DxO avoids this entirely.
Each profile is laboratory-measured, allowing DxO to correct softness specific to your exact lens model.
Start with the default optical sharpness applied automatically.
Stay within +0.5 to +1.5 to avoid over-enhancement. DxO’s algorithm preserves realism.
Enhances texture without haloing — especially effective on portraits and fashion.
Adjust highlights and midtones separately to achieve a natural sharp look.
A crisper, more detailed image that maintains natural character — ideal for professional delivery.
