I produced a big video review for my YouTube channel. That sounded good to me so I downloaded a copy to try it out. So, when I became aware of DxO’s new PureRAW software, I was interested to see what the new software might have to offer.ĭxO PureRAW promises to give us the best version of our RAW files through pre-processing so that we can then get back to our regular workflow to produce awesome images. But I imagine that there are a lot of us out there who are generally happy with Lightroom and Photoshop and, even more importantly, don’t want to make the huge time investment needed to completely overhaul our workflow. If you’ve done so and are happy moving away from Adobe that’s great. I can understand that desire, but I have no interest in switching over to a completely different catalog and workflow system. For this reason, some photographers have been looking at full-scale Lightroom replacements such as Capture One, DxO PhotoLab, On1, and others. Among them is Lightroom’s difficulty in extracting the best colors, noise profiles, and sharpness from our RAW files. I highly recommend downloading the free trial for yourself and testing your own images in PureRAW.Though I’m a longtime Lightroom user (I even produced the popular e-book and video series Lightroom for the Nature Photographer with my good friend Keith Bauer), it’s common knowledge that Lightroom has some limitations. A free trial version is available for download. I know that it's difficult to see the full impact of DxO PureRAW in 640-pixel wide screenshots. After May 31, the software will cost $129. Until May 31, 2021, PureRAW is available at a special introductory price of $99. However, there are downsides, including that DeepPRIME processing is resource-intensive and takes a considerable amount of time when processing a large batch of images.ĭxO PureRAW is available now for Windows and macOS. It's also a suitable way to give a RAW image nice pop, such that it loses the typical 'flat' look that RAW images have when you import them into software like Lightroom. It is a great way to process and prepare RAW files for additional processing and editing. Overall, I am very impressed with DxO PureRAW.
In this 100% view, you can see that PureRAW doesn't sharpen out of focus areas, which is great for noise reduction purposes, and also because you don't want purposefully soft areas of an image to be sharpened.
