Again, this technology is scientifically based on a vast collection of real images taken with nearly every popular camera, not some color technician’s by-guess-and-by-gosh algorithm.ĭxO PhotoLab 6 now also features a unique, expanded color space, DxO Wide Gamut, that is wider than sRGB or Adobe RGB, and is said to include 100% of all colors found in nature. In part this was because we were dazzled by DxO DeepPRIME demosaicing technology that recreates complete colors based on the pixels from a photo sensor that initially only received one of three basic colors. When we reviewed DxO PhotoLab 4 (read review here) we took a deep dive and liked everything we encountered. You can download a full-function, 30-day trial version to see what you can really do with your raw files. DxO claims the potential of more than 2.5 stops improvement in noise reduction and the ability to increase dynamic range.

In addition to removing noise at a category-leading level, DeepPRIME DX recovers previously unseen details and restores richly saturated, natural color. It’s important to note that DeepPRIME DX unlocks raw file data it doesn’t make up data that didn’t exist. HD Pentax-D FA 21mm f2.4 ED Limited DC WRĪdded to DxO PhotoLab 6 is the DeepPRIME XD (eXtreme Details) mode that enhances the quality of raw files even more than the other modes. Resolving issues of vignetting, geometric distortions, longitudinal and lateral chromatic aberrations, the corrections apply across their various software applications, i.e., DxO PhotoLab, PureRAW, ViewPoint and FilmPack. In a separate but equally significant reveal, DxO announced the addition of nine newly-supported lenses to their unimaginably exhaustive collection of Optics Modules, adding to their carefully curated database of 77,000 lens. Meanwhile, DxO ViewPoint 4, the software that corrects warped perspective (converging parallels, for example) and geometry, now has a supercharged Reshape Tool that can warp and repair individual parts of a scene, positionable Guides and a better interface. Drawing on a neural network that is trained using billions of image samples, DxO PhotoLab 6 now features DeepPRIME XD, DxO Wide Gamut, improved retouching tools and a revamped library system.
