^ That's a link.

Released in 2013:

DxO Optics Pro 9 introduces PRIME, a revolutionary noise reduction technology whose spectacular performance produces detailed and vividly-colored images even under the most extreme shooting conditions.

Based on DxO Labs' exclusive approach of prior calibration of equipment in its laboratories, DxO Optics Pro integrates many powerful tools for automatically processing RAW and JPEG images: precise optical and geometric corrections, intelligent optimization of exposure and contrast, preservation of colors and details. Its numerous presets can be adapted to photographers' personal tastes and will help them bring out the best in their photos in just a few clicks.

I'd drop in a direct download link but the serial numbers are all different anyway, (ie. you need to submit an email address - use a disposable if you like).

Thanks! Rather interesting. I have download and installed it to try it out.

Just wanted to note after you enter your email, it says the free license is not upgradable. There is an offer of a $50 discount on the same page though.
