DxO PureRAW is the perfect solution for me. However, like others, I have a workflow that I'm comfortable with that relies upon competing software. Images are clean, sharp and the optical corrections are second to none. Like many photographers, I've long found that DxO's software offers fantastic RAW processing performance. While I encourage you to try the software for yourself, in my experience, DeepPRIME delivers upon its promise. That's a big deal, because noise reduction is often overly aggressive to night skies.
Impressively, the noise reduction doesn't remove the small, faint stars from the image. The image is shown at 100% view.Īs you can see, the PureRAW 2 image is much cleaner. On the left is the image processed with DxO PureRAW 2 (DeepPRIME) and the right image is the same photo with Adobe Lightroom default processing. When a large and increasing proportion of a photographer’s images cannot be processed in their chosen software, an alternative one-stop-shop application becomes an increasingly attractive option.This image was shot at ISO 8000 on a Sony A7R IV.
Perhaps DxO are banking on that hesitance, but it’s a time-limited strategy. It takes considerable investment in time and effort to develop the skillset specific for any application to a point of business efficiency, so having invested that time and effort to become proficient in DxO one might be hesitant to ditch it and start over with another application – hence the question keeps cropping up. This goes beyond the cost of the software. That would be disappointing as DxO has some brilliant features and is excellent software in many respects, but if I was looking to invest in a new RAW processor today, and read that DxO was incompatible with images from the latest iPhones, I would not consider it. Until this changes or the reasons for excluding it (which may be other than just technical) are known, photographers will continue to ask. Other major imaging software makers have recognised the rising demand from photographers using iPhones, and incorporated it - except DxO. It’s not as if ProRAW is a new thing or impossibly complex. For the best experience, however, use apps that are compatible with ProRAW files. "ProRAW uses the industry standard digital negative (DNG) file format, so you can open ProRAW files with apps that are compatible with DNG files. But why is that, and why does the answer keep coming back as No? I agree, it’s a question that has been asked and answered many times before.
