French software company DxO Labs has unveiled a new release of its flagship Optics Pro workflow software for photographers, and announced an important milestone in its production of the modules that let Optics Pro automatically correct common lens-derived image quality problems such as vignetting, aberrations and distortion. 

DxO Optics Pro v8.1.2 supports raw images shot with three new cameras, and also adds lens correction modules for 107 new body / lens combinations, mostly specific to the newly-supported cameras. DxO notes that with its latest additions, it now offers more than 10,000 lens correction modules for Optics Pro, surpassing an ambitious target the company set itself in late 2011, and doubling the 5,000 modules it had available just a little more than a year ago.

Cameras newly supported in Optics Pro 8.1.2 include the Canon EOS 6D digital SLR, Nikon V2 mirrorless, and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1 full-frame compact. Optics modules that have been added include all of the following:
