Thanks for a very informative series on PL8 so far. XD2 is incomparably better than XD. I gave up on XD early as it tended to look nasty, especially for people photos. Deep Prime is still amazing, and it's great now to have a choice of two excellent NR functions.
When are the new demosaic and noise reduction tools coming to DxO Pure RAW? Presumably, DxO Pure RAW 5? I find Photolab far too cluncky yo use as an everyday editor ... dream come true when they added the best bits to a simple, stand-alone app in Pure RAW.
PureRaw has DeepPRIME XD2... but I have no idea if it will upgrade to XD2s... or if they will try to bring the next generation to PureRaw 5 and leapfrog to XD3. Hard to predict.
Thanks for the heads up. I enjoy your videos very much. Sadly, the code doesn't apply to upgrades and the new denoising is not ready for Fuji RAW files. So, I think I skip this upgrade.
Ah. Thanks for the heads up on the New purchase only. I didn't realize to be honest, but I will add a note to the description. And yes, they are still working on making this work with Fuji.
I like DXO (using PL7 a lot) and have a trial version of PL8. I see no reason to update at this time with my current PC. ACDSee 2025 does a comparable noise reduction at speeds 5-10 times faster than PL8 ony older PC. Comparing an image side by side I see little difference.
That is interesting to me. I downloaded ACDSee 2025 as a trial but never spent much time with it. I will have a look when I get a chance. I am not surprised that it is faster on an older machine, but I will be very curious about quality. But as I have often said, noise reduction is not the reason I use Photolab, it is just a wonderful bonus for me.
Users from China，XD2相对XD的提升是巨大的，中国话讲脱胎换骨也不为之过，prime这个技术应该是来源于google的图像专利，不知道是不是DXO够买了该专利，我印象中看过0几年google录制的关于该图形专利的视频，老的XD可以说是相当垃圾，对比LR的ai降噪可以说是完败，XD2提升太巨大了，效果太犀利了！
I use Fujifilm. And Photolab 6. Trying the new noise reduction, 6 vs 8. Exported 10 images. Compared very carefully. Absolutely no difference. Rechecked to see if they were really from the two different versions… yep. No difference…
To be expected from my understanding. I believe because of the way DxO does both demosiacing and denoising at the same time, it is taking them extra time to sort it out for the Fuji sensors. I don't have a Fuji so I am not way up on this, but I think that is true.
The thing is fujifilm has x-trans sensor that is not supported at the moment and even dxo photolab 8 still uses deeprime xd 1, but they're planning to add support for fujifilm to deeprime xd2s.

Thank You for the code saved me £31.35.
Thanks for that detailed explanation. Well worth watching.
Glad it was helpful!

Glad you enjoyed it! Totally agree
Once again, thank you for always sharing your wonderful knowledge. I love your videos 📹 😍 ❤️
Thank you! Cheers!
Well done video!
Thinking I might go back and re-edit some night sky photos I processed with PS6 a few years ago (7 wasn't enough better to bother)...
I bet you will see an improvement. Let us know if you get a chance.
This is great!!

Thanks a lot. But when in Fujifilm system?
I have no insight sorry. I do think they are working on it, but I have heard nothing on when.

For fuji is the x trans sensor, the fuji medium formats works fine

Interesting. Is the medium format Bayer?

@@veselahladno8917 I’ll keep an eye on it. But the results with XD on PL6 are so good that I see very little room from improvement…
