This has been directly addressed in version 2, and Pure Raw 2 now works as a Lightroom Plug-in, so you can process your files directly within Lightroom.

The workflow was a bit of a pain though, especially if you were working with Lightroom (Classic). In addition, DxO PureRAW uses DxO’s highly regarded Optics Modules, a database of more than 70,000 lens and camera body combinations that provide the highest levels of lens sharpness, corrections to geometric distortions, vignetting, and aberrations. Having been trained using millions of example images, the network is able to produce results that far exceed those made by human-designed algorithms, giving users Linear DNG files that have all of the flexibility of the original RAW file but with the best possible image quality in terms of colour, noise, and fine detail. Here’s the official blurb from the company:ĭxO PureRAW uses convolutional neural networks to perform the demosaicing and denoising processes of RAW image conversion simultaneously. The previous version was a stand alone application that allowed you to convert your Raw photos to DNG or Jpegs using the companies Deep Prime noise reduction, while also taking advantage of the renowned DXO optical corrections.
