How much extra time? The ordinary 10-second processing time for a raw photo takes about 5 minutes with Prime, DxO said.įor those with less patience or spare time, DxO Optics Pro 9 also improved its faster algorithm, which can be used instead of Prime. Several minutes may be required to do this, but this process takes place in the background, so users can work on other images and projects while they wait for the results. This vast exploration allows DxO Optics Pro to identify similar data that can serve to reconstruct image information. For each pixel, more than a thousand neighboring pixels are analyzed. In contrast to the usual approach of finding a better compromise between image quality and execution speed, we have created a tool whose sole purpose is to obtain the best image quality possible. Here's how Frederic Guichard, DxO Labs' chief scientific officer, describes Prime: Check below to see one example of the noise reduction in action.

DxO said the technology goes a full stop beyond the competition, meaning that it could cut noise from a photo taken at ISO 12,800 as well as a rival software can handle a shot at ISO 6,400. The software's Probabilistic Raw Image Enhancement, or Prime, takes more time than other noise-reduction algorithms, but it can detect finer details and accurate color amidst the noise speckles that afflict digital photos taken at high ISO sensitivity settings.


DXO OPTICS PRO 9 ELITE UPDATE
DxO Labs announced its new Optics Pro 9 software Wednesday, an update the company believes does a better job stripping out noise than rivals such as Adobe Photoshop and Apple Aperture.
