DxO has just launched a new version of its image enhancement software, PureRAW. It is now on version 5.
Dedicated Deep Prime for Fuji X-trans sensors!
XD, which comes from extra detail, was introduced in PureRAW 3. In PureRAW 5, DxO introduces its own XD for X-trans sensors, the XD3 X-trans Beta. Yes, it is still in beta and under development. It is good enough, though, for public beta, so no worries. There will be a possibility to give feedback to DxO.
This new version of image enhancement for X-trans sensors is a good move. Fuji cameras are popular but have not received the best treatment from DxO. I am glad this has changed.
Local Adjustments are essential!
Local adjustments are significant in image editing. Different parts of the image need different types of treatment. Now, that can be done in DxO PureRAW, too. It is possible to sharpen only parts of the image. For example, it is possible to sharpen only the subject and leave the background as is. This improvement is much appreciated.
DxO PureRAW enhacments are based on Optics Modules.
The Optics Modules are what makes the DxO software the best when it comes to image enhancements. DxO now has over 100.000 camera lens combinations. That is vast, and your camera and lens combinations are most likely included.
DxO PureRAW 5 will be available in April.
The final product will be available on April 15th. It is worth the wait. I have tested the early beta version, and it looks very promising. Unfortunately, I cannot share any samples yet. As soon as I get the final version for testing, I will start to make some video content ready for April 15th. Most likely I will publish it on the 15th with samples and comments about the quality.
