Has anyone tried this? Or know anything about it?  If the example on their website is accurate, it looks impressive.

DxO is much hyped but some people swear by it.
I have always found it to be clunky and whilst better than NikonCapture (that doesnt say a lot).
I think it is a high priced set of Emperors new clothes. Just because they also do the DxO camera tests, whose results are also dubious ,they feel that they can charge premium rates for the software.

Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop are a much better solution for nearly the same price (depends how you do the calculations). DxO stated that tehy woudl not support the Fuji X-Trans sensor which definitely killed any chance of me making a purchase.

As an aside their customer support is very poor also.

I installed the trial verson, 31 days no watermarks, and it seems to preform rather well.
Had to hunt for some high, 25,000 ISO Raw pix, as I usually do night shots at ISO800 with longer shutter speeds.
The Prime module is in Essential Tools>Detail>Noise Reduction>PRIME
It did a good job of cleaning up the D610 shots, should print well to 13x19 or larger, depending on the shot.

I got the full basics version on a freebie CD in this month's Digital Camera magazine but haven't tried it yet.

Going to do a series of test shots on a tripod ISO 800 to 25,600 of the same scene with the D610 in RAW.
This should give me an idea or the usefulness of the Prime Denoising.

I had a copy I used back in 2005. Back then it did make a noticeable difference, however it crashed a lot also. I didn't update and as Adobe has got better I wonder if the difference is as great now.

I'd be interested to see your test results.

Rich, it might have improved since 2005! ;-)

The customer support is dire.
They are French and not customer centric!!

I guess my question is why would you use DxO instead of Adobe Photoshop which you are so familiar with.

I just saw it and thought it looked good, hence the question... o.O

Haven't really used any denoising software. Never really needed it but I'm doing more night time shots now.
