Here are some more extreme examples that is going to really test DXO PureRaw.
The TG-5 is a 12mp small sensor camera (1/2.3) with a max iso of 12,800. As usual, I’m seeing a great reduction in color and luminance noise.

When we look closer, we can see the DXO PureRaw did a great job. The lower left is virtually nothing but after processing we can see there is a pole, a bush, details in the rail, and so on. Clearly there is heavy luminance noise reduction but I think the AI did the best it can, preserving details without turning everything into mush.

Here is the E-M10 Mark II, 16mp m4/3 sensor. I attached the 45mm f/1.8 for this shot. While the shot on the left is usable for me, notice how well DXO PureRaw reduced both color and luminance noise, particularly in the background where it’s very hard to fix without destroying all the details on the subject.

Looking closely, we see great detail around the eyes. Again, my best efforts would not even come close.

Looking closely we can almost read the names on the brass name plates. Not quite, be we can tell there are letters there.
I’m again amazed at the results.
At this point, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the product and think you should at least download the free trial.

I’m working on a full review where you’ll be able to download full resolutions images to pixel peep. I’m going to include a quick review on PhotoLab 4 because it actually offers one benefit specifically for PureRaw. Stay tuned!
Thanks!
