DxO has announced PureRAW 5, the latest version of its RAW image processing software, introducing powerful new features aimed at photographers who demand the highest image quality. With local adjustments for noise reduction and sharpening, the next-generation DeepPRIME 3 AI processing, and expanded support for Fujifilm X-Trans sensors, PureRAW 5 delivers sharper, cleaner, and more detailed images than ever before.
A key upgrade in this version is local adjustments, allowing photographers to fine-tune denoising and sharpening in specific areas of an image. This feature is ideal for complex scenes where different levels of detail and noise reduction are needed. Users can now apply precision masks to control sharpening and enhance fine details exactly where required.
The software also introduces DeepPRIME 3, the third generation of DxO’s AI-powered denoising engine. Unlike traditional noise reduction methods, DeepPRIME 3 processes noise and demosaicing simultaneously while also correcting chromatic aberrations at a pixel level. This results in exceptional image clarity, particularly at high ISO settings. Additionally, DeepPRIME 3 offers faster processing speeds, improving workflow efficiency for photographers handling large batches of RAW files.
Fujifilm users will benefit from DeepPRIME XD3 X-Trans Beta, a new AI-driven tool that optimizes images from Fujifilm’s unique X-Trans sensors. This feature enhances detail retention and noise reduction, providing unprecedented image quality for Fujifilm photographers.
Beyond image processing, DxO PureRAW 5 debuts a brand-new user interface, designed to streamline workflows and improve usability. The software now supports custom presets, allowing photographers to apply frequently used settings in a single click—ideal for handling different cameras, lenses, or lighting conditions efficiently.
DxO’s 100,000+ Optics Modules, developed through laboratory testing of specific camera-lens pairings, further refine image quality by automatically correcting lens distortions and enhancing sharpness. These modules, a signature feature of DxO software, push camera gear beyond its standard optical performance.
With these updates, DxO PureRAW 5 offers an essential tool for photographers seeking to maximize the quality of their RAW files while maintaining an efficient workflow.
