It produces cleaner, sharper images while preserving natural textures and accurate color reproduction, even in extremely high-ISO files. From night photography to highly detailed landscapes, it sets a new benchmark for noise reduction and detail extraction.

Combined with DxO’s exclusive DxO Modules, which provide the most precise camera and lens corrections available, DeepPRIME XD3 delivers a complete image quality pipeline for photographers who refuse to compromise.

AI Masks gain diffusion for smoother, more natural adjustments

DxO PhotoLab’s acclaimed AI Masks become even more versatile in version 9.6 with the addition of diffusion controls. This new option allows photographers to soften mask edges and create smoother transitions, resulting in more natural-looking local adjustments.

Whether refining portraits, enhancing landscapes, or working with complex tonal transitions, diffusion offers greater creative flexibility while preserving the intuitive workflow that has made AI Masks a cornerstone of DxO PhotoLab.

DxO today introduces DxO PureRAW 6, a major new release that pushes RAW image quality and workflow speed to unprecedented levels. Already established as the essential first step of any professional RAW workflow, version 6 now delivers even sharper, cleaner, more detailed images — and introduces a suite of intelligent upgrades designed to give photographers total freedom and efficiency.

With this release, DeepPRIME XD3 — previously exclusive to X-Trans sensors — now brings its elite noise-reduction and detail-extraction performance to both Bayer and X-Trans cameras. Combined with breakthrough DNG compression and powerful workflow improvements, DxO PureRAW 6 sets a new benchmark for what photographers can expect at the start of their editing process.

Next-level quality: DeepPRIME XD3 expands to Bayer sensors

DeepPRIME XD3 represents the most advanced evolution of DxO’s acclaimed DeepPRIME technology. Engineered for the most challenging files, XD3 uses a larger neural network to clean noise, restore detail, and preserve natural textures with exceptional precision — even in extremely low-light, high-ISO conditions.

By extending this technology to Bayer-sensor cameras, DxO PureRAW 6 now delivers its highest-ever level of denoising and demosaicing quality — performed simultaneously for unprecedented results — to more photographers than ever before. From night photography to finely detailed compositions, XD3 delivers extraordinary clarity and depth that redefines what’s possible straight out of the RAW file.
