    and fidelity

DxO's pioneering Modules are renowned for giving photographers the best possible performance from their gear, and are applied automatically depending on metadata. Lens softness adjustments are tailored according to the idiosyncrasies of individual lenses. They don't simply sharpen uniformly across the entire image like in other software.

UPDATED IN V9

Noise reduction powered by machine learning.
DeepPRIME 3, DeepPRIME XD, DeepPRIME XD2s, and DeepPRIME XD3 X-Trans eliminate noise, recover detail, and improve color reproduction. A conventional technology, ‘Standard’, is included for when speed is crucial. Choose automatic settings or dial them in manually. Use the large live preview magnifier or zoom to 100% to see the impact of denoising — plus all of your other edits.

Extra-wide gamut working color space (DxO Wide Gamut) ensures accurate rendering throughout the workflow. Soft Proofing mode ensures accurate colors when preparing files for print or display. Simulate ink and paper via ICC profiles. Create calibrated color profiles using industry-standard color charts to ensure precision.

Advanced History palette provides a full editing history including specific values and changes. Grouped corrections can be expanded when applying presets in order to track individual changes. Quick Compare Mode puts your edit alongside the original image with a vertical or horizontal split. You can compare your current image with output versions and virtual copies, or choose a reference image.

Create Virtual Copies for multiple variations of an image without copying the RAW file. Compare quickly with the original image, and selectively copy/paste settings between images.

Highly customizable workspace:  reposition/hide panels, collapse/expand palettes, and use a search field to quickly find tools. Add your most-used tools to a favorites palette, or create custom palettes. Filter displayed corrections by category. Display only the tools actively making changes to an image. Use multiple monitors and palettes. Place the PhotoLibrary image browser on a second display.

Display RGB, individual colors, and luminosity channels. Indicate where highlights and/or shadows have been clipped. Display the RGB value of an individual pixel.
