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 and DeepPRIME XD (eXtra Detail) 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.

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 XD3, it can be three stops and sometimes more.

Two groundbreaking technologies:
DeepPRIME and DeepPRIME XD

There are two variants of DeepPRIME technology in DxO PhotoLab9 and DxO PureRAW  6: DeepPRIME and DeepPRIME XD (eXtra Detail). Both algorithms reduce noise, increase clarity, and purify results from your camera’s sensor, but DeepPRIME XD uses a deeper neural network and performs more intensive processing, making it suitable for images shot at exceptionally high ISO settings and where light levels are very low.

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 XD3

DeepPRIME XD3 is the latest generation of our ‘eXtra Detail’ version of our machine learning technology for Bayer and X-Trans sensors. 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 XD3 are compatible with cameras from most major manufacturers. To see if your equipment is supported, click here.

Unlock the full potential of your camera with DeepPRIME XD3 — the latest evolution of our eXtra Detail denoising technology, now for both Bayer and X-Trans sensors. Powered by machine learning, it delivers precise noise reduction while recovering exceptional detail, preserving fine textures, and maintaining smooth, natural color transitions. Even in demanding conditions, your RAW files will display remarkable clarity, realistic detail, and impressively clean results.
