DxO PureRAW can be used in different ways — as a standalone application, as a plug-in for Adobe Lightroom Classic, or as a Smart Filter within Adobe Photoshop. This flexibility allows you to choose the workflow that best fits your editing process:
Adobe Photoshop (Creative Cloud): Starting with version 5.5, DxO PureRAW supports Smart Filter integration, allowing non-destructive editing. You can return and fine-tune your processing settings at any stage of your editing workflow. The standalone version of DxO PureRAW (all versions) also offers direct export to Photoshop.
Adobe Photoshop Elements: Direct export is supported.
Other software: You can export your processed images to any other third-party photo editor — such as Affinity Photo or Capture One — in linear DNG, TIFF, or JPEG format, depending on what your preferred software supports.
Additionally, DxO PureRAW offers a plug-in for Adobe Lightroom Classic.
