Welcome to the user guide for DxO PureRAW 5, the program that uses DxO’s demosaicing, optical correction, and advanced denoising technologies to produce high-quality RAW files for further post-processing in Adobe Lightroom Classic, Camera Raw, Photoshop and any photo editing software able to open the output files.

Here you will find information about how to install, setup and use the program as a standalone, as a plug-in for Lightroom Classic and as an extension of the file explorer of your operating system. You will also learn how to set up a smooth workflow and a productive environment, thanks to the batch processing features.

Just follow the table of contents in the pane on the left of this page.
