The product is called DxO PureRAW and in this video, I will explain how it works and how it can. Why should they licence their technology ? the real question is why did c1 not develop such technologies as it was clear in which direction things will go ? c1 very much gave up developing core improvements, their focus seems to make as much money as possible with an ageing code, very different to dxo which as the smaller company with less market share needs to attract new user with really useful and innovative features and to offer visible better image quality is a very good argument, no? as in other fields to develop something new you need to build up expertise, this needs time and money and also a dedicated management which thinks in longer periods and not just accountants and a office full of marketing people. On the 14th of April, 2021 DxO launched a new RAW converter. With the release of their latest software, DxO PureRaw, you can take advantage of these two aspects of RAW conversion, while keeping the rest of your workflow in the editor of your choice. I watched some youtube videos and downloaded a trial of DxO PureRaw to see what it is all about, and it has blown me away. Yes it takes some time to understand PL as it behaves different to adobe and c1 but to use it only to apply deepPrime and lens corrections is not that difficult. DxO have always done two things really well when it comes to RAW conversion: Noise Reduction and Optical Corrections. The upgrade from Topaz DeNoise 3.6.0 to 3.7.0 for users with Nvidia RTX graphics cards saw a similar uplift in processing speeds. For example, DxO PureRAW 2 improved processing time by around 25 over DxO PureRAW 1. As well as new camera and lens combos, PureRAW 2 also adds support for HiDPI displays (essentially, the Windows version of Apple’s Retina display), bringing better visual comfort to Windows users.I recommend PL over pureRAW because I often see the need to change deepPrime settings or had to adjust the lens correction values, impossible with pureRaw, for optimal quality. Note that these results are very hardware dependent, and software updates can make a difference too.

This is because, depending on the camera, some images may have noise or graininess in the shadows that only becomes visible when you lighten them.
