PRIME
Push the limits of shooting at very high sensitivity
A DxO Labs exclusive, PRIME technology has been designed to push the limits of image quality even further. Its denoising algorithms analyze the structure of RAW images in depth: more than a thousand neighboring pixels are surveyed for each pixel. This extensive exploration identifies similar data to use to reconstruct image information.
Several minutes are sometimes needed to run PRIME, but as this extraordinary denoising takes place in the background without any intervention on your part, you can work on other images while you wait for your perfectly denoised photo. Details and color saturation are preserved, especially in shadows, and textures are restored — resulting in an outstanding image that is more pleasing to the eye.

DxO Smart Lighting
Even better recovery of highlights
DxO Smart Lighting has been improved once again and now offers even more efficient highlight recovery. The processing of shadows and highlights is truly breathtaking.
This improvement is visible both when the default preset is applied and when you are using advanced recovery tools.
With the Exposure compensation tool, the details you thought were lost are revealed and colorimetric errors are minimized — even if the information was missing in the original RAW data!
Stunning colors
Preserve skin tones and natural colors
DxO Optics Pro 9 doesn't just simulate your camera's color rendering, but also provides its own interpretation of the images, regardless of the camera used.
Bring out the details in both light and dark areas thanks to a new rendering designed for portraits: obtain more precise skin tones and preserve more saturated natural colors.
Visual presets
Know what you're choosing
Discover DxO Optics Pro's new catalog of visual presets. DxO has painstakingly developed 30 new renderings that have been designed to respond to several different use cases: Portrait, Landscape, Black & White, and Single-shot HDR.

A new floating palette gives you faster access to available presets: preview the results as thumbnails and then apply the one you want to your image in just one click.

Exceptional noise reduction
Dare to shoot at extreme sensitivities!
Push the limits of your camera. Thanks to DxO's thorough knowledge of each camera calibrated in our laboratories, you can obtain detailed textures and vibrant colors even at the highest ISO values!
DxO Labs' exclusive PRIME technology has been designed to achieve unparalleled image quality. Its denoising algorithms analyze a thousand neighboring pixels for each pixel so as to identify similarities and skillfully recombine the information. This vast exploration requires several successive rounds of denoising in order to ensure that the similarities themselves are not noisy.
This painstaking process sometimes takes several minutes, but as this denoising takes place in the background, you can work on other images while you wait!
Also with DxO Optics Pro, instantly put an end to moiré in highly detailed areas, as well as to dead or hot pixels that can appear during long exposure times.
Light and contrast
Master the light in one click
