On a photo forum I am a member of, the subject of the upcoming release of PR5 having the new DeepPRIME3 as mentioned in this press release was being discussed…
especially in regard to the 4th paragraph where it says this
"Both DeepPRIME 3 and DeepPRIME XD3 X-Trans (beta) will be available as part of version 5 of DxO’s unique RAW preprocessing software PureRAW and will also be available in the coming weeks in DxO PhotoLab, the industry-leading full RAW editing solution, as a free upgrade."
So, as it rare AFAIK for feature upgrades to be in ‘dot’ release I hope the news will happen and make PL8 even more powerful in regard to noise control.
Though as it mentions AI playing a more important part of DeepPRIME3 I hope that it will work entirely ‘locally’ and not require any cloud intervention or function?
Statement from DxO at a press conference:
All DxO treatments (AI or not) are done locally, on your computer. Nothing is transferred from it, and there is no uploading to a cloud or other platform.
Image processing processes (neural networks) are trained on DxO’s own images, never on users’ own.
