Unlike other software manufacturers, DxO tests every camera and lens combination individually in its purpose-built lab, giving you profiles that are tailor-made for your equipment. Twenty years of pioneering camera and lens correctionsĭxO’s renowned Optics Modules have set the standard for camera and lens corrections since 2003. Eliminate defectsĭxO meticulously analyzes lenses in order to be able to remove lateral and longitudinal chromatic aberrations and correct vignetting. No lens is perfect. DxO PureRAW 3 corrects lens distortions and can even give you a larger field of view - ie, more image - than other software. Unlike other software, sharpening is not applied uniformly instead, corrections vary across the frame depending on the idiosyncrasies of each individual lens, giving you images that are sharpened to perfection. Sharper imagesĭxO PureRAW 3 corrects lens softness, getting more performance from your gear than you thought possible. This AI technology converts RAW files, giving you incredible noise reduction and detail recovery at the best possible stage of the photo editing workflow. With DeepPRIME, we used billions of image samples to train a neural network to understand the difference between noise and detail when processing a RAW file. The power of machine learning: DeepPRIME and DeepPRIME XD Photographers report gaining the equivalent of more than 2.5 stops in noise performance.ĭigital Camera World says this technology “will change your mind about what you think your camera is capable of”. New in DxO PureRAW 3, DeepPRIME XD is more powerful, taking noise reduction and detail recovery to another level. There’s no smudging, no ‘watercolor effect’, just more detail than you ever imagined your high-ISO raw file actually possessed.Integrates seamlessly into any workflow, including Adobe Photoshop® and Lightroom® DeepPRIME XD: cleaner images, more detail There are a lot of software publishers making a lot of claims about their noise reduction tools, but DxO insists it’s the only maker to combine raw demosaicing and denoising in the same process – and DxO’s high-IS noise reduction is spectacular. It leaves you checkin the EXIF data to make sure they are actually the same image. It’s at medium-high ISO settings that the differences become obvious, and at super-high ISOs where Lightroom’s now processing can produce noise like marbles, DxO’s processing is uncannily sharp and noise free. The worse your camera gear, the bigger the potential gain! DxO’s lens corrections are extremely good too, so that even if you don’t notice any difference in distortion correction, for example, a closer look at the edges of the image will often reveal sharper detail in the DxO version.

The DxO DeepPRIME version (right) is dramatically superior. This photo was shot at ISO 3200 on a Sony A6000 and you can see how noisy the default Lightroom version is (left). You keep all your edits, even if you use the PureRAW conversion after you’ve made them. If you’re converting a whole folder of images you can get on with something else while it’s at work, and if you’re sending an image from within Lightroom, it just means a short delay while you wait for it to come back.īut what happens if you’ve already done some editing in Lightroom and only then decide that you need a superior Linear DNG version? This is where it gets clever – the original (unedited) raw file will be send to PureRAW 2 for processing, and when it returns the editing metadata applied to the original will be applied to the DNG. You can expect to wait up to, say, a minute for each image to be processed – but this will vary considerably depending on your hardware. All you have to do is tell it which images you want it to convert and the conversion options you want – typically either JPEG or Linear DNG, and where you want the new images to be saved – and set it to work.ĭxO’s DeepPRIME processing is certainly faster, but still not fast. PureRAW 2 is extremely simple to use, partly because it doesn’t offer any image adjustments, just a conversion process. (Image credit: Rod Lawton/Digital Camera World) The processing options are super simple – you can choose the processing method (DeepPRIME is slowest but best), the output format (JPEG or Linear DNG) and the location where you want the new files saved.
