Let’s face it. We don’t really pay attention to the Raw processing engine behind the software we use to edit our digital images. So why should we spend money on a dedicated application?
Well, once you try DxO PureRAW 5, you’ll be convinced. At the very least, this review will introduce you to the advantages of DxO’s DeepPRIME technologies, a feature we only glossed over when reviewing DxO PhotoLab 8. And if you want to stop at denoising and demosaicing via PhotoLab 8, then all well and good. But as you’ll see, there are benefits to be had from PureRAW 5 beyond what even PhotoLab 8 can deliver.
