I downloaded the trial version of DxO PrueRaw and this will be a game changer for me. I've used DxO software for many years and have enjoyed the benefits of their superb software even though I thought that it was not very intuitive and didn't necessarily fit into my workflow. Therefore, I reserved it for the special features it had to offer such as reducing noise. DxO PureRaw, on the other hand, fits nicely into my workflow. With virtually a push of the button I can reduce noise, correct lens design flaws and optimize lens quality.

As I get older, I have a tendency to grab one of my MFT cameras when I go on a outing rather than one of my full frame cameras. However, I often find myself photographing in less than ideal lighting conditions with the obvious consequence of producing noisey images. That, unfortunately, is a byproduct of using a camera with a smaller sensor.

DxO allows me to preprocess my noisey raw images before sending them off to Photoshop or Lightroom for additional processing. My limited experience with this software indicates that my smaller sensor cameras can effectively compete with the big boys.

DxO PureRaw is available for a 31 day trial. Try it. I think you will be amazed.

Thanks for the heads up

If you use DXO PL4, Elite version, you will no need it as Deep Prime is part of it.

For non users of DXO PL, Pure RAW may be a game changer for you especially if you use Adobe products.

There are lots of Utube videos on it. Check it out. Best is to download it and try it out and see the results for yourself.

Are you using it for catalog purposes or just basic RAW and noise reduction processing and then importing into LR for management…or importing into LR first and then sport to DxO and back to LR?

Matt Suess did a good video comparing it and Topaz DeNoise with DxO winning.. Unfortunately i already own Topaz so I won't be spending another $80 for DxO

I am using PS on laptop (Windows 10) and like to download the PureRaw trial version. Would it be a stand alone version or my choice? I don't want it to interfere with my workflow.

DxO Pure Raw is a standalone application that applies it's magic to the RAW file prior to your processing the image (as long as it's not a Fuji file). It will save the DxO processed RAW file as either a DNG or jpg, and can export it into your software . As such, it would be the very first step for you in processing an image file prior to bringing it into your photo software of choice.

Hope that's helpful.

So it is not downloaded as a plug-in to the Photoshop.

No - it's a standalone app that is used prior to starting Photoshop and cleans up the RAW file before it's opened in Photoshop.
