![]() ![]() A batch of 217 raw files from the Canon EOS R56, for example, was estimated to take ‘Less than 4 hours’, but it only took around 20 minutes. Fortunately, it doesn’t take quite as long as the software indicates. DeepPRIME gives the best results, but it also takes the longest to apply. The first option allows you to select the type of noise reduction that you want to apply, HQ, Prime or DeepPRIME. This brings up a simple dialogue box that gives you a few options for how the images will be processed. The next step is to ensure that the images you want to process are selected and click on ‘Process photos’. DxO PureRAW uses the image EXIF data to identify the camera and lens used to capture the images and automatically finds the required modules for download. you’ll be prompted to download any optics modules if they’re not already on your computer. Alternatively, you can drag and drop the images into the DxO PureRAW 2 screen.Įven when the images are on a fairly slow external drive, the thumbnail view of DxO PureRAW populates quickly after the images are imported. Helpfully, if you select all the images in a folder, DxO PureRAW 2 only selects the raw files as it’s these that you need to work with. ![]() The simplest approach, after opening DxO PureRAW 2 is to import a folder of images from wherever they’re stored on your computer or drive. People like Erin Babnik and Marc Adamus have talked about the creative benefits of photographing landscapes without a tripod and I think this will help enable that.DxO PureRAW 2 is designed to be easy to use and not add a long series of complicated steps to your usual workflow. I’m also excited by the thought that I will be able to create good quality handheld images in low light situations by combining the Canon EOS R5’s IBIS with stabilized lenses, higher ISO settings and PureRAW. I think it will give new life to some of my older images. When it comes to correcting significant noise, distortions and softness, PureRAW outperforms Lightroom and the bigger the issues become the better it does. The real advantage comes from images taken with older cameras, softer lenses and/or higher ISO settings. If anything, PureRAW may oversharpen such files (although the proof would be how it looks in a print) and there is no control over the sharpening. In the video, you will see that for images taken with quality lenses at low ISO settings, using a camera with a lot of resolution and good noise performance, while PureRAW does a great job, very comparable results can be achieved using the lens correction, sharpening and noise reduction in Lightroom. You can watch my video if you’d like to see examples of what PureRAW is able to do. According to DxO, the new “Deep Prime” DNG raw files should have just as much image information as the original so you can still make raw adjustments in Lightroom or Camera Raw as well as open them as raw smart objects in Photoshop. The new PureRaw app uses a super simple interface to apply DxO’s noise removal and lens correction algorithms while integrating with just about any other editing application, including Lightroom and Photoshop.īecause PureRaw imports original raw files and outputs new DNG raw files it allows us to apply DxO’s enhancements without sacrificing our raw workflow. However, Adobe isn’t the best at all things.ĭxO is known for excellent noise removal and lens correction capabilities but until now you needed to switch over to their full editing suite to access it. I use Adobe Lightroom or Adobe Camera Raw to make my raw level adjustments and I like how smoothly Lightroom and Photoshop integrate. ![]() ![]() PureRaw allows you to apply DxO’s noise removal and lens corrections to raw files without having to give up your favorite imaging software. The idea of creating enhanced raw files while maintaining a Lightroom and Photoshop-based workflow intrigued me so I wanted to check it out. DxO did not ask me to review it and I paid full price for my copy of PureRaw. DxO recently released a new piece of software called PureRaw that I thought was worth giving a look. ![]()
