The downside is that it doesn't read the camera profile and once you've exported it as a DNG LR won't let you apply the camera profile either. Above that, I will process using the app as a standalone with the RAW model, as it does an outstanding job on high ISO. I prefer the 'Low Light' model as it has the least amount of unnecessary sharpening/AI detail creation. If you're editing from Lightroom, it works really well up to ISO 6400 on the TIFF files sent back and forth (this is with my Sony A1). DxO had to go.Ī year ago I would have said ON1 was the best, and Topaz a close second, but with the 3.x releases of Topaz it's now even better. ON1 was so much better, like night and day better.

I compared DeeoPrimeXD to ON1 NoNoise AI 2022 yesterday. I'm linking to a 100% crop of an example image.

regular DeepPrime was basically all but identical) and Topaz DeNoise AI v 3.7.0, using the RAW model. Default processing in DXO PhotoLab 6 with DeepPrime XD (and XD vs. Here's a sample image I took in very low light in Costa Rica last month, ISO 16,000.

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Topaz is vastly better at this point.

With the release of the new version of DXO I thought I'd see where things stood today. In the time since then, Topaz has gotten better and better, and faster, especially on Apple Silicon. Topaz or ON1 No Noise, except for very high ISO images. I tried out Deep Prime a year ago based on people's recommendations here and was pretty underwhelmed it most cases I felt it was at best a wash vs. I like to constantly test the apps out there to see who's moving ahead.
