Hi,
I usually use LR for raw conversion, but the other day I had the opportunity to use DxO 5.3.2 Pro for Canon 5D Mk2 with 24-105L IS, instead LR. In general I liked much more DxO than LR for raw conversion, DxO lens correction and batch capabilities are invaluable and made me save a lot of time, but make sure to review the converted images because, in some cases, DxO failed to properly convert the image (to be fair, just 1 frame in 500).
No ask for a solution (I used LR for that particular image), just want to share the information.
If you look at the 100% crop images, the area within the power tower frame, or in between wires, are visibly darker than the exterior area in the DxO conversion. The LR image looks good.

Since I bracketed the image, I checked the next image (+1) to discover that both, DxO and LR converted it properly.

Looks like a program fault. Make sure you carefully review the converted images.
