DxO PureRAW 5 launches

Software company DxO has announced PureRaw 5, the latest edition of its RAW image editing software.

According to DxO, version 5 introduces a number of new features to enhance local adjustments, allowing photographers to fine-tune noise reduction and lens sharpness optimisation.

In addition, DxO has also updated its DeepPRIME technology, a brand new interface, custom presets for an accelerated workflow, and new features for Fujifilm XTrans photographers.

“The new version pushes noise reduction and detail extraction further than even we thought possible,” explains Jean-Marc Alexia, VP of Product Strategy.

“Plus, we have a beautiful new interface that’s quick and easy to use thanks to the ability to create presets to match different cameras or scenarios. And Fujifilm fans will be delighted to see what’s included. X-Trans images have never looked this good.”

For images that require detailed fine-tuning, photographers now have the option to focus the levels of denoising and detail extraction on specific parts of the image, and tailor levels of sharpening exactly as required. 

Users can draw multiple masks and adjust the Force Details and Luminance sliders to dial exactly what they need. In addition, it’s possible to target sharpening more precisely, focusing on specific parts of the image.

DxO PureRAW 5 also includes the third generation of DxO’s neural-network-powered RAW processing engine for Bayer and X-Trans sensors.

DeepPRIME 3 incorporates residual chromatic shifts at a pixel level, resolving chromatic aberration as part of the RAW conversion process.

In addition, there is a new interface, custom presets for faster editing, and a new DeepPrime XD3 X-Trans engine, giving X-Trans photographers improved noise reduction and detail extraction.
