I'm out of my depth here guys. I have attached a screen capture of the pull-down menu I get. If you don't see this, I don't know what to think?!


Dave, are you on a Mac? I don't see why it would make a difference, I'm Windows 10

Still don't see it. If I go to ESSENTIAL TOOLS (or any other Pallet), the 3 horizontal bars show the following download:
Collapse, Dock to the left, Float, Hide, Move Up Dock, Move Down Dock. But nothing on showing focus points.

Guess it means I need to go buy a Sony A99ii.


That's because it's not there. Don't understand what's going on here.

Regardless of what camera you have, it should still be there, I would think

Yes, I don't understand the problem? I have the same screen that you do. I'm losing track of what you are asking. I can see an obvious little square made of four parallel horizontal lines. Mouse on it and a pull down menu appears on my computer.


The screen shot that you just posted is completely different. My square only has 3 bars and no drop down menu as you describe.

Maybe this will help, Download the attached image. Look just to the right of the word Histogram and you will see the little box I'm talking about. You might have a different word than "histogram" on your screen but the location is the same. I just took this photo a few minutes ago. Taa Daaa


This is the screen I get in both DxO 11 Elite and Dxo PhotoLab

Who is Jim? No matter:
If you look on the upper right hand corner under the word "Presets" you will find a little square made of four tiny horizontal lines. If you press on the button a drag down menu will appear. Scan down that alphabetical list to the words "focusing Distance", place a check by that word and close the pull down menu by tapping out side the menu. Now that tool will appear among the various tools on the right of the screen. It seems to only work for supported camera/lens combinations.

From what I can see it lets you fine tune the distance that the subject was from the camera. To me this means you would need to use tape measure when are taking the photo! If you somehow know that distance you can enter it. My guess is that DxO will make use of that information when making lens corrections. I'm an anal kinda guy, but this too much, even for me. Someday I might make use of it, but I doubt it.

Maybe someone else has used it and can tell us more about it?

JimH123.

The only thing in the upper right hand corner is "Apply Presets". No small square with four horizontal lines. Also clicking on the box next to "Essential Tools", the drop down menu displays collapse, dock to left, float, hide, move up dock, move down dock.

If you use LR, there is a plug-in for showing focus point and distance:

I would just try to print something. Mine sat for 6 months, and it printed a photo with no problem. I never shut it down, just stays in standby mode
If it hasn't been used in a while, it will run a head cleaning cycle.

Yes, I have been using DxO since it first came out. I'm a big fan of it. I have two working versions on my computer, DxO OpticsPro 11, and the new and paid for copy of DxO PhotoLab. I just never gave this parameter a thought until this week. Do you find it useful?


I've been using DxO for quite a while, and I'm with Jim, I can't locate it either. Checked every module. What heading is it under?

It looks like I can upgrade from DxO OpticsPro 11 Elite to DxO PhotoLab 1 Elite for $69 USD and I believe that will include DxO ViewPoint 3 if I use the code that they provide because they know what software I already own.

Is it ready NOW with NIK filters integrated into it, or are they asking me to place my order now for a program that won't be available until mid 2018?

I'm confused!


DxO ViewPoint 3 is available as a plug-in or standalone program, but it's not included with DxO PhotoLab.

Is it possible to set up the rear thumb wheel to directly change ISO settings on the D810 rather than first having to press the ISO button on the top left dial? Perhaps a custom setting of some sort? Thanks.


In the Custom Setting Menu, select Controls. Scroll down to f13, assign movie record button to ISO. Then you can change ISO by pressing the record button and rotating the main command dial. Also, if you have Auto ISO activated, if you press the record button and rotate the sub command dial, it will switch between the two.

The bokeh is horrendous. If you can still return it, i would do so. If you don't mind the extra weight and cost, go for the Sigma Sport.

I also have that lens and have not had that issue. Given the length of Sigma's warranty, I would think that your lens could NOT be out-of-warranty as you say. I would strongly suggest you contact Sigma and discuss with them. They might even offer to make the repair without any cost, other than shipping to them, even if it IS out of warranty. You never know until you ask!


I agree, the Sigma Sport was not available until Oct. 2014, unless the warranty terms are different in Australia, it should be under warranty until at least Oct. 2018.

Wolfman I have been playing with HDR and a self devised system with some success for nearly three years. I am leaning to thinking V5 of Photomatix is actually better than V6. V6 may have advantages in the later stages of processing but when I tried these out I only used the initial HDR blending of images.


I don't use it a lot but since, I did have version 5, I was able to get a free upgrade to ver. 6
