Why you should use DxO PureRAW 2
Whatever your genre, DxO PureRAW 2 will transform the quality of your RAW files.
Wildlife
You don’t need the best telephoto lens on the market to get incredible results. DxO PureRAW 2 cleans up your RAW files, giving you greater flexibility when using faster shutter speeds, and allowing you to shoot earlier in the morning or later into the evening.
A fantastic result, especially given how little time you need to spend on each photo. DxO PureRAW produces dynamic images that are optimized for high-quality digital platforms and publications.

Landscape photography
Get the maximum detail from your gear thanks to DxO’s renowned lens and camera profiles, automatically correcting any distortion, vignetting, and chromatic aberrations. You can have more freedom to shoot without a tripod as faster shutter speeds with higher ISO levels are now less of a problem.
While the quality of the original was very good, I was surprised at how much sharper the 36-megapixel capture was after I ran it through PureRAW. From the pine needles to the rock formations, everything is just so much crisper.

High-ISO photography
With DxO PureRAW 2, you can get an extra two stops of ISO thanks to its power to clean up noise from your RAW files. Instead of worrying about image quality and lowering your shutter speed, keep shooting.
The noise and grain are basically 100% gone. It seems like an entirely new image and the colors feel more vibrant and rich. I’m interested to see how this translates when making large prints.

Natural light portraits
Creamy bokeh and out of focus areas often have a tendency to become messy with noise. With DxO PureRAW 2, they stay velvety smooth and free of artifacts.
Everything is better after using DxO PureRAW — so much so that I regret not using it sooner! Noise is far better and without any loss of detail. Stunning!

Resurrect old RAW files
Breathe new life into RAW files shot on older cameras. The photos in your archive you thought were not good enough because of a lot of noise or a soft lens — these images can be transformed.
The quality of your starting image often shapes the way that you choose to style a photo. In my original edit, I left parts of the image quite dark to avoid introducing noise. After processing DxO PureRAW, I was suddenly able to lift the shadows.
Wide-angle lens photography
Automatically correct lens distortions, vignetting, and chromatic aberrations and make your wide-angle photography cleaner and sharper.
DxO PureRAW did an amazing job of correcting the distortion while improving sharpness at the edges. After that, I just needed to do a little darkening of the sky in order to drive the viewer’s eye towards the vendor and his great smile.

High resolution, high detail
Your lenses deserve the best corrections. With DxO PureRAW 2, you get access to DxO’s widely acclaimed lens and camera modules based on more than fifteen years of rigorous lab testing. In addition, DxO PureRAW 2 will allow you to draw out more detail from the shadows without introducing noise.
Photos are sharper and with better noise management from the outset. I could achieve the same noise reduction and sharpness — but probably not with such good results. Plus it would take me much longer!

Long exposures
Open your shutter for longer without having to worry about the smooth areas of your photos becoming polluted by noise.
DxO PureRAW brought out a tremendous amount of detail from the shadows while decreasing the noise. I was able to keep the shadow detail that I wanted while darkening less important areas to add more contrast and a sense of drama.

Drone photography
Smaller sensors can be problematic, especially when shooting in low light or high contrast situations. With DxO PureRAW 2, lenses are automatically corrected to improve detail and sharpness, and shadows remain refreshingly free of noise, even when ISO is increased.
The image is much smoother and sharper at the same time, with shadows that contain more detail and whites that feel slightly less white.
