PureRaw takes DxO’s existing image processing and lens correction technologies and employs them in an entirely new way. Usually, if you want to get the bestpossible raw processing software, you then have to adopt it as your photo processing workflow. So until now, if you wanted to make the most of DxO’s raw processing expertise, you would have to adopt DxO PhotoLab as your photo editor.
Not any more. DxO PureRaw will process your raw files as what DxO calls Linear DNGs, where the key stages of DxO’s processing tech – raw demosaicing, noise reduction and lens correction – are baked into a Linear DNG file, which your regular software will treat as a regular raw file. This means that Lightroom and Photoshop users, for example, still get to leverage all the advantages of raw files – extended dynamic range, full color data and white balance control – but with DxO’s superior raw processing and noise control already applied.
