Would you like a new sensor in your camera? One that delivers finer detail and less noise?

It sounds impossible, but this is effectively what DxO’s unique DeepPRIME 3 and DeepPRIME XD2s (eXtra Detail v2s) technologies deliver. Here’s how they work.

Denoising and
demosaicing explained

Two of the fundamental steps of RAW processing are demosaicing and denoising.

Demosaicing is the process of converting individual pixel values for red, green, and blue into accurate colors (learn more here). Denoising is the correction of erroneous pixels generated by interference or heat inside your camera — something that becomes more pronounced when shooting at high ISO levels. These processes are critical in extracting the best possible quality from your RAW files.

Incomparable results

DeepPRIME technology removes noise and recovers information without losing detail, creating more natural transitions and textures. The latest generation, DeepPRIME 3 incorporates a third operation as part of the RAW conversion process: chromatic aberration correction. It uses data from DxO’s exclusive DxO Modules, and the results are spectacular.

And for the most challenging files, DeepPRIME XD (eXtra Detail) pushes performance even further. Compared to conventional RAW conversion technologies, DeepPRIME 3 delivers the equivalent of an extra two stops of ISO of detail; with DeepPRIME XD2s, it can be three stops, and sometimes more.

The future is here.
Try DeepPRIME XD2s for eXtra Detail

There are two levels of DeepPRIME processing available in DxO PureRAW  5 and PhotoLab8: DeepPRIME 3 and DeepPRIME XD2s. Both algorithms reduce noise, increase clarity, and purify results from your camera’s sensor, but the newer DeepPRIME XD2s mode requires more intensive handling.


DeepPRIME 3

DeepPRIME 3 is the third generation of our original, groundbreaking technology based on machine learning. Its processing remains a fantastic choice for images where noise must be eliminated and detail enhanced.

DeepPRIME XD2s

DeepPRIME XD2s is the latest generation of our ‘eXtra Detail’ version of our machine learning technology. Built using a larger neural network, it is at the cutting edge of demosaicing and denoising, designed for the most demanding images. Expect photos free from noise, with smoother bokeh, finer textures, and colors that are true to life.

Both DeepPRIME 3 and DeepPRIME XD2s are compatible with cameras from most major manufacturers, including Canon, DJI, Hasselblad, Nikon, Panasonic, Pentax, Olympus/OM System, Sony, Leica, and more.
