The pixels on a camera’s sensor, whether it’s the smartphone in your pocket or a medium format body, only capture the intensity of light.
#DXO PURERAW FUJIFILM SOFTWARE#
Fujifilm enthusiasts have long searched for the best software to process their images and DxO PhotoLab 5 and DxO PureRAW 2 now support for X-Trans raw files, offering clean images from Fujifilm cameras with fantastic detail rendition.īefore we can understand what makes X-Trans different from Bayer, it’s useful to remind ourselves how sensors capture light, how moiré comes about, and how the raw data from a sensor is turned into the images that we see on our screens.

As will be explored below, there are certainly advantages and disadvantages to X-Trans and the algorithms used to interpret the raw data from this sensor are critical for getting good results. Given that the rest of the camera industry almost exclusively uses Bayer sensors, this was a bold move and the last ten years have seen many heated debates about whether X-Trans brings genuine benefits to photographers or is little more than an elaborate marketing trick. Never a company afraid to try something different, Fujifilm introduced the X-Trans sensor in 2012. What is it about X-Trans cameras that make them different to other cameras on the market, and how is machine learning revolutionizing the way that raw files are processed? Head Scientist Wolf Hauser discusses the pros and cons of X-Trans and how DxO’s approach to processing them leads to significant advances in image quality. A unique sensor now matched by next-generation processing: DxO DeepPRIME now supports Fujifilm X-TransĭxO’s latest software brings exciting news for Fujifilm photographers: both DxO PhotoLab 5 and DxO PureRAW 2 now process files from X-Trans sensors, producing remarkable levels of detail.
