New DxO FilmPack v1.1 Adds Exclusive Toning Modes, Adobe Photoshop Plug-in Compatibility and Features a Special Introductory Price of $69 until May 31st

Simulating the grain and color of popular films and including new "toning" options, version 1.1 of DxO FilmPack is also available as a stand-alone application as well as add-on to DxO Optics Pro.

Las Vegas, Nevada - March 8, 2007 - PMA 07 Booth #J271 - DxO Labs today announces the immediate availability for Windows and Macintosh of DxO FilmPack v1.1. Based on detailed analysis and calibration of the originals, DxO FilmPack enables digital photographers to add the effect - in terms of color and grain - of more than 20 slide, black-and-white and color negative films. DxO FilmPack even permits users to combine the color rendition and grain profiles of different films. This latest version also adds a range of "toning" renditions bringing DxO FilmPack ever closer to a traditional darkroom experience.

Version 1.1 of DxO FilmPack now provides its functionality as an Adobe Photoshop plug-in (CS2, CS3 and Photoshop Elements 4 & 5), a stand-alone application and an add-on to DxO Optics Pro 4.2 or greater.

DxO FilmPack effects can be applied to any digital image in JPEG or TIFF8 or TIFF16 format, regardless of its source (digital camera, bridge camera, D-SLR, digital scan, etc). When used within DxO Optics Pro, the DxO FilmPack effects can even be applied to RAW images, providing even greater color accuracy.

"Since launching DxO FilmPack as a DxO Optics Pro add-on last December, the demand for a version as an Adobe Photoshop plug-in has been phenomenal. With DxO FilmPack v1.1, we are extremely pleased to bring the benefits of DxO Image Science Technology to an ever wider community of digital photographers," commented Luc Marin, VP Business Development - Photography at DxO Labs.
