Perhaps of interest for DSLR users looking for a 'Make It So' type workflow app.
Testing a Demo of DxO Optics Pro v5 beta for OSX intel (ppc is available as well)
FREE DEMO
A stunning app for batch processing raw or jpg from your Nikon/Canon DSLR. The software uses modules designed for most current DSLR models and lens ranges. My interest is for a D40 & 18-55 kit lens, but there are free modules for the 18-200mm VR, the wide 12-24 and others I will need later. The standard pkg will cover Nikons up to D300. The pro models (D3,2X,etc) and prime F lens modules require an upgraded pkg. Canons up to 40D and most of their DX lenses are covered in the standard as well.
Lightroom/CS3 plugs are included for workflow additions.
Many, if not all functions in this software can be done with a combination of share and freeware combined with CS, but to have what might be considered a very complex and easily adjustable action in one spot is compelling.
The lens correction alone might sell it for me.
After tossing a few old and thus unknown body jpgs at it, I'm stunned at what I get in such a limited mode (raw with current model modules gets you into a full range of corrections)

DxO Optics Pro Software
The mouse overs on KR's review should give you an idea of what it does, but v5 has more stuff.
Those fisheye to flat corrections at the bottom are amazing.
