The Definitive DXO PureRaw6 Guide For Photo Pre-Processing within the Workflow of Lightroom

The Definitive DXO PureRaw6 Guide For Photo Pre-Processing within the Workflow of Lightroom This week we discuss the use, operation and function of DXO PureRaw 6 in conjunction with Lightroom workflow. By using PureRaw as a pre-processor you are assured to get clean raw files to post process in Lightroom. PureRaw allows us to clean up noise, lens imperfections and chromatic aberration leaving a raw file in a perfect state for post processing. Additionally, since PureRaw takes advantage of its modules which identify your specific camera and lens, it allows a more perfect solution to typical digital photo issues which can hamper effective post processing in Lightroom. In this video I go through all feature/function of the operation of PureRaw 6 as a pre-processor and stand alone application. The video is quite long. But consider it more like an operators manual with a few demos thrown in to highlight the functionality of the application. If you are like me, I don’t like to sit and read an engineers guide to an application. Rather, I prefer a video demonstrating all the buttons, sliders and windows so I can take full advantage of the application. To that end I have also included a time code listing so you can navigate directly to that portion of the application you wish to explore in more detail.
