You can choose from DxO’s three noise-reduction technologies: HQ, Prime, and DeepPrime. Alternatively, you can select images from a folder in File Explorer or Finder.
It’s mostly a blank panel onto which you drag and drop the photos you want to process. Since it’s more of a utility than a full workflow or editing application, DxO PureRAW sports a remarkably simple interface. It also offers sample raw image file downloads you can use to test the program. When you first run PureRAW, you see helpful instructions on what it does, how to use it, and how to integrate it into your photo workflow. A decent GPU is recommended but not required. I ran it on an Intel Core i7-based PC running Windows 11 and on a MacBook Air with an Apple Silicon M1 processor. You need at least an Intel Core i5 on Macs, a Core 2 or higher on Windows, and at least 4GB RAM on either. The software runs on macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or later and 64-bit Windows 10 Version 1809 or later, or Windows 11. I couldn’t find any recent Lightroom market share studies, but judging by informal surveys at photo trade shows and elsewhere in the industry, it seems safe to say that the vast majority of photographers who shoot raw camera files use Lightroom Classic. The only problem is that, if you use PureRAW, you still must pay for another program like Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop, though there are viable lower-cost photo workflow software options like ACDSee Photo Studio, Corel PaintShop Pro, CyberLink Photodirector, and Skylum Luminar Neo.
That’s a good savings over DxO’s main photo software, PhotoLab, which costs $219 for the version with all the advanced enhancements in PureRAW, such as DeepPrime noise reduction. It's a one-time cost for a permanent license-no subscription required.
DxO PureRAW 2 costs $129, discounted to $79 for purchasers of Version 1.
