I am hugely impressed with DXO's technology.
Tried my best to de-noise the same image with ACR but got nowhere close.
Our Golden modelling for this test.
Z6 @ ISO 32000.

thanks, this is seriously impressive - ISO 32'000?
-
Have you tried the Topaz denoiser? I hear good things about it.

I tried Topaz but no cigar there either.
After trying Deep Prime free for some time I was impressed enough to purchase Pure Raw (the raw converter with Deep Prime NR.

Yes, 32k.

Thanks for the hint on Pure RAW - interesting concept - I gave it a whizz bang whallop - this is very noisy D850 file - pity it doesn't support my X100V:
-
The detail conservation is impressive
-
Looks really impressive. Thank you for sharing, Sten.
- pity it doesn't support my X100V:
Unfortunately, DXO traditionally ignores non-Bayer sensors completely.
-
Akira, their Photo Lab 5 Elite does XTRANS with the same deep prime algorithms (so far beta only).
I hope Pure RAW will get an update to support XTRANS. They can do it.
Golunvolo, have a look at the label on the cap: Adobe Camera RAW apart from lots of noise also no color, but the DXO version is quite nice
-
The infamous "UV striping" of the Z6 proved too deep for DXO Deep Prime :(

Really? They must have changed their mind! When I was using Photpo Lab and referred to DXO Marks website several years ago, there was no hint for them interested in X-Trans sensor. Capture One handled my X-Trans sensor images marvelously.

I confirm. Having tested DxO Deep Prime and compared it to my Lr&Ps environment, the former performs better. Nevertheless, DxO is nowhere compared to Adobe in a professional work environment. So it’s a NoGo.
PS: I used to be a DxO subscriber.
NB: DxO takes also ages before providing updates for new bodies / lenses. The latter also as a result that each pair lens/body has to be tested by DxO.

I agree with the photo editing capabilities in general but for me Pure Raw is the ticket when it comes to NR.

They did change their mind! DxO Photolab 5 (Elite Version) supports Fuji X-Trans sensors very nicely!
Apparently, the standard version does not.

I keep NR correction to the lowest possible level; this together by using a D6 and never exceeding ISO 25’600. If there is still some noise, so be it. ;)

I used to be as well, but the very limitation was one of the reasons for my departure. My current SIGMA fp uses DNG for the native RAW format, but the DXO software doesn't support SIGMA cameras!

Bill, thank you for the additional info.

Has anyone here use ON1 NoNoise AI?

Just did a quick test and it is not as good as PR in my opinion. Very blotchy OOF areas.

Thank you for the feedback.

I did a comparison with Topaz Denoise which I used previously (right) and DxO Pure Raw (left). Noise attenuation and color restoration of DxO is clearly better:

Daniel, to me, the Topaz image looks crispier and the detail is more preserved (especially the salt-and-pepper beard). DXO image does look cleaner but the detail seems to be more smeared.

Thanks for your assessment Akira. I see what you see and I guess it now comes down to personal preference. I quite like the ability of DxO to preserve color. When I zoom out the DxO photos look more pleasing to my eye. But I plan to only use it when things have been tricky.

Daniel, yes, of course, the final verdict will depend on the personal taste and also usage. If the sample image is just a small part of the entire frame, the difference would be negligible and the overall look of the frame should be much more important.

DXO just released V2.0 of Pure RAW which now supports also Fuji XTRANS RAW. This is very good news as I use my X100V a lot. The optimisation is a neatly integrated plugin in Lr or runs the standalone app. The code is optimised for Apple M1 silicon. My first impressions are very positive.

This is a reconverted X100V RAW. I like the denoising and color retention in night shots.
