Results of Deep Prime mode----nothing was done to enhance the images other than to run the raw files through Pure Raw's Deep Prime mode and making jpeg copies.

I have a couple of older long lenses that are prone to magnificent levels of color fringing, and this took care of 90 - 95% (personal subjective) of it. Yayyyy.

I've done about 30 other images, both raw and jpeg. The results, even on a jpeg are quite good.

However, on some images, it seems the program can go too far and some "texture" (noise) is removed and some surfaces can look too smooth or over processed. Have to admit I have only tried the Deep mode. One of the others may be more to my liking for certain subjects. I'll see.

I'm really happy with it over-all and , although I still have 17 days left on my trial, I am going to purchase it and add it to my stable of DXO tools.

Hope this helps anyone else contemplating this program.

1. jpeg copy direct from raw file

2. Prime's first try at the raw file-----Hmmmmm.....

3. Prime's second try with raw file

4. Borrowed raw file, just for his example, for another perspective on Pure Raw results--jpeg copy direct from raw
file

5. Prime's result from raw file and jpeg copy

6. Jpeg copy directly from raw file of Otto car

7. Prime's result from raw file and jpeg copy - check the results in the shadows inside the car.

Results on the bif-- wow.

Interesting set. Not being a DXO user can you tell me about "Deep Prime Mode" please

WILLARD98407 Loc: TACOMA, WA.

It has a HQ mode, a Prime mode and a Deep Prime mode.

Load an UNPROCESSED file, press Process Image 'button' and choose the mode with which you want to process.
Choose either DNG or JPEG as output file and a destination.
Push START.

Sit back for a minute or two and enjoy the result.

DeepPRIME is DXO's latest AI based denoising technology. It is available in DXO's PhotoLab 4 Elite and in PureRAW. DeepPRIME only works on raw files but in my experience it is by far the best noise reduction technology.currently available. I am also a user of Topaz Denoise 3 and while Topaz is very good, the results fall considerably short when comparing them to DeepPRIME.

If you have a graphics card with a GPU supported by DXO, the processing time can be as little as 6 or 7 seconds depending on how highend the card is and the size of the raw file.

apparently I don't possess a card with that speed.

seemed to work on unprocessed jpegs, but maybe i did something wrong.

WILLARD98407 Loc: TACOMA, WA.

update. you're right. Raw, not jpeg.

DeepPRIME does not work on jpegs, only camera native raw files.

What graphics card do you have? If its unsupported, DeepPRIME uses the computers CPU for processing rather than the graphics card's GPU. In that event processing takes a minimum of 3 times as long as with the GPU. An example of a lower end graphics card that is usable by DeepPRIME would my nVidia GeForce GXT 1050ti. A raw file from my 20.1 MP Canon 7D Mark II is processed using DeepPRIME in around 20 seconds. When bypassing that card and using my computers CPU it takes almost 70 seconds to process the same image.

That is an old and not very powerful card by today's standards. I am pretty confident it is not supported and therefore your computer is using its CPU to process DeepPRIME.

I tried all three options on a shot that was slightly softened by mist and I found that the Deep Prime option over-softened the already soft small detail. The HQ option was the least intrusive, but if I was working on a shot where noise was more of a problem I would want the Deep Prime option because it does do a better job on noise.

Interesting, thanks for sharing.

I use deep prime in DxO pl4 elite and am very satisfied with the results
