![]() So the answer to the question? Definitely NO! I’ve pulled a few photos out of what would have been my reject file with PureRAW, but because you only have two on/off controls with PureRAW, it is far more likely to be destructive than constructive in my work. (For PL6’s NR with native Fuji RAF files, “Prime” and “Deep Prime XD” are still not available for some X-Trans bodies.) All of this is to get an image that I can work on with PhotoLab 6 – and seems to work well. So if you identify a raw file you like, start work on it and make some adjustments, but then decide that it would benefit from DxO’s processing, you can send it to. I can still use Denoise AI if I need more. Lightroom users also gain an improved workflow, with the ability to invoke PureRAW from within the program itself, using the ‘Export Process using DxO PureRAW 2’ command. With AI apps like Topaz, I often start with SharpenAI, which also allows a degree of noise reduction. My best results have been using Iridient for demosaicing, and then making a decision whether to deal with sharpness or noise first.īack in the days with PhotoShop, the general wisdom was to apply sharpening at the end of your other PP workflow. I’ve been doing some rather challenging shooting which includes some unavoidable contrast reduction, resolution reduction, and motion blurring. ![]() That means that if you try any other AI process after PureRaw gets done with your file, you’ve essentially added one AI on top of another AI the the results can be dreadful. ![]() In terms of both sharpening and noise reduction it acts like an AI process. The problem is that PureRaw is a blunt instrument and you have virtually no control over what it does. After all kinds of workflows with various combinations of PureRAW2, PhotoLab5/6, Topaz Sharpen AI/Denoise AI, Iridient X-Transformer, and PhotoShop CS6, I’ve decided to put PureRaw into the I’ll-give-it-a-try-as-a-last-resort category. I’ve been working with PureRAW since it became available for Fuji X-Trans RAF files.
