HARNESSING EXCLUSIVE technologies developed over 20 years, DxO has come up with an app that enhances RAW photo files in ways we wouldn’t have believed had we not seen it with our own eyes. Using DeepPRIME, DxO’s own AI that has been trained by analysing millions of images, PureRAW removes noise, chromatic aberrations, unwanted vignetting, distortion and insufficient sharpness with unprecedented precision. It can find detail where there was none and turn a mass of muddy colour into a vibrant patchwork.
Traditionally, reducing noise and demosaicing photos are two separate operations, with each one introducing defects that degrade the quality of the other. But PureRAW combines them into one action so that the information in the photo is rendered perfectly, offering professional photographers even more creative freedom when dragging the enhanced, ‘clean slate’ files into Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom.
