Where DxO PureRAW 2 offers perhaps its biggest improvements is how the software fits into existing, highly varied workflows. DxO promises 'superior image quality at the beginning of the editing process.' Whereas apps like DxO PhotoLab 5, Adobe Lightroom and Capture One offer RAW processing and editing all in one app, DxO PureRAW 2 is more like a 'pre-processor.' You use the software to process your RAW image files before you edit them in a different application. On Windows machines, you can expect gains up to 1.5x.

On Apple Silicon, results are about 4x faster. Compared to DxO PRIME, the DxO algorithm which previously set the standard for denoising in the photo industry, DxO DeepPRIME delivers an improvement of around two ISO stops.' DxO PureRAW 2 features massive speed improvements with DeepPRIME. The results are spectacular: DxO DeepPRIME removes noise and recovers information without losing detail in the image's colors, creating more even and natural transitions. 'By contrast, DxO DeepPRIME adopts a holistic approach and combines the two steps into one, giving exceptional performance. DxO writes, 'Thanks to billions of carefully selected input and output samples, the artificial intelligence 'learned' the two fundamental operations of any RAW photo editing process: demosaicing and denoising.' Traditionally, RAW editors perform demosaicing and denoising across separate steps, resulting in softer images with more noise. The technology relies upon artificial intelligence trained using billions of input and output samples. With PureRAW 2, it's now possible to process RAW files within the macOS Finder or the Windows File Explorer.Īt the heart of DxO PureRAW 2 is DeepPRIME.

You can also use PureRAW 2 as a standalone app to prepare files before importing them into your photo software of choice. For example, if you use Adobe Lightroom, you can use DxO PureRAW 2 inside Lightroom to get the most quality out of your RAW files while still using Lightroom to perform all your edits. If you're not familiar with PureRAW, it takes the same great DxO DeepPRIME RAW demosaicing and noise reduction technology as DxO's all-in-one editor, PhotoLab, and lets you use it without changing your existing workflow.

This week, DxO released DxO PureRAW 2, the latest version of its RAW processing app and plugin.
