Sandra Professional can show you how your machine/network performs against benchmarks.
Most photographers turn to analytical tools when they think something may be wrong
with their camera, lenses, or computer. Others do it out of academic interest, or else in
order to review a product for a magazine. Whatever the motive, there are plenty of tools
available for testing and benchmarking the various components used in digital photography.
Acolens from Nurizon Software lets you analyze your lenses, and then correct
any geometric distortion. DxO Analyzer is widely favored by magazine editors and other
professionals, but a few enthusiasts also use it. If you are responsible for several computers
in a busy studio, Sandra Professional will help you analyze every aspect of their
performance.
