DxO PureRAW 6: What's New and How to Use It
auto_awesomePixelfetch Take

DxO PureRAW 6 represents a meaningful upgrade for photographers who prioritize image quality at the foundational stage of post-processing. By addressing common raw file issues—noise, chromatic aberration, and lens distortion—before the image ever reaches a primary editor like Lightroom, PureRAW compounds the quality benefits throughout the entire editing pipeline. This matters especially for photographers shooting in challenging conditions like low light or with lenses that exhibit notable optical flaws. Version 6 being described as the strongest yet suggests DxO has made substantive improvements to its AI-driven processing engine, making it a compelling consideration for serious photographers looking to elevate their output without overhauling their existing workflow.
