DxO PureRAW 5 will be available on April 15, but if you pre-order DxO PureRAW 5 now, you will get a copy of DxO PureRAW 4 in the meantime.
Also introduced with DxO PureRAW 5: DeepPRIME XD3 X-Trans Beta. DxO writes:
Fujifilm fans will be delighted to see what’s included. X-Trans images have never looked this good
I also went though the launch material of DxO and noticed three before/after images taken with Fujifilm gear. For your convenience I have uploaded them on my Dropbox here.
Especially the X-H2S before/after looks quite impressive.

Press Release
New DxO PureRAW 5, the ultimate solution for RAW image quality, introduces local adjustments, expanded performance for Bayer and X-Trans sensors, and much more.
The software that supercharges your cameras and lenses guarantees unprecedented image quality alongside powerful workflow boosts and a brand-new interface.
Paris (France): DxO, the leader in RAW image processing for more than two decades, announces DxO PureRAW 5, the software that delivers sharper, cleaner, more detailed images, and gives photographers unparalleled freedom. Version 5 introduces powerful local adjustments, allowing photographers to fine-tune noise reduction and lens sharpness optimization on the most complex and demanding images with absolute precision. In addition, DxO unveils the third generation of its renowned DeepPRIME technology, a brand- new interface, custom presets for an accelerated workflow, and fresh features for Fujifilm X-Trans photographers.
“The new version pushes noise reduction and detail extraction further than even we thought possible,” explains Jean-Marc Alexia, VP of Product Strategy. “Plus, we have a beautiful new interface that’s quick and easy to use thanks to the ability to create presets to match different cameras or scenarios. And Fujifilm fans will be delighted to see what’s included. X-Trans images have never looked this good.”
New Local Adjustments: Fine-tune with unmatched precision
For images that require detailed fine-tuning, photographers now have the option to focus the levels of denoising and detail extraction on specific parts of the image, and tailor levels of sharpening exactly as required. PureRAW’s automated processing is unmatched, but when an image needs a precision-focused approach, Local Adjustments provide the perfect solution. Users can draw multiple masks and adjust the Force Details and Luminance sliders to dial exactly what they need. In addition, it’s possible to target sharpening more precisely, focusing on specific parts of the image.
Introducing DeepPRIME 3
DxO PureRAW 5 includes the third generation of DxO’s original neural-network-powered RAW processing engine for Bayer and X-Trans sensors. Four years ago, DxO pioneered the use of machine learning to perform denoising and demosaicing simultaneously, unlocking the potential of AI and far exceeding man-made algorithms. Today, DeepPRIME 3 incorporates a third process: residual chromatic shifts at a pixel level. Thanks to the data it draws from DxO’s exclusive DxO Modules, DeepPRIME 3 resolves chromatic aberration as part of the RAW conversion process. In addition, users get a significant boost in image quality while also saving time. DeepPRIME 3 is faster than ever.
A brand-new interface
The appearance of DxO PureRAW has been completely overhauled in version 5, giving users a cleaner, more refined experience when using the software. The update makes for a smoother, more streamlined workflow, reducing friction and enhancing usability. Users can spend less time in the software and more time enjoying its spectacular results.
Workflow upgrades: Custom presets for faster editing
Version 5 introduces the ability to create custom presets, allowing users to dial in frequently used settings in a single click. This facilitates the easy application of different configurations according to different variables, such as camera, lens, ISO, or subject matter. Combined with the existing batch processing and batch renaming features, photographers avoid repetitive actions, saving time while maintaining consistency across their workflow.
Introducing DeepPRIME XD3 X-Trans Beta
As an extension of DeepPRIME, DxO’s DeepPRIME XD — ‘eXtra Detail’ — engine was introduced in DxO PureRAW 3 to offer the most intense processing of the most demanding files. Since then, it has progressed, promising incredible results for images captured at ISO levels that had previously been considered unusable.
For owners of Fujifilm cameras, DxO is proud to introduce DeepPRIME XD3 X-Trans Beta, giving X-Trans photographers early access to the next generation of noise reduction and detail extraction.
DxO Modules give PureRAW 5 the power to push your gear further
Last month, DxO passed a milestone: its exclusive laboratory in Paris has now produced more than 100,000 DxO Modules.
Pioneered by DxO more than 20 years ago, a DxO Module is a mathematical model that describes the characteristics of a lens paired with a specific sensor. This model is then used by DxO software to enhance the performance of a lens/camera combination and push it beyond the laws of physics.
The quality of the results relies on the precision that DxO’s team of highly experienced technicians deploys, conducting tests in controlled environments, and using custom-made equipment and meticulous processes that have been developed over the last two decades.
The DxO Modules in PureRAW 5 ensure that photographers get the absolute best possible quality from their equipment.
