Help needed with workflow

DxO PureRAW
1

Hi everyone

I’m a complete newbie to using dxo pure raw and despite my best efforts to figure it out, I’m stuck, so hoping somebody knowledgeable can steer me in the right direction.

I primarily use Lightroom classic for photo editing, but have been in the market to add something for denoising my images.
When I read the good reviews and simple interface I thought I would give it a go.

Now, maybe I have got this totally wrong, but in my mind I thought i could edit my photos in Lightroom and then pick it up in pure raw for the finishing touches.
I can’t for the life of me figure out how to do this as it just sends the original raw file from Lightroom without any of my edits.

Am I missing something?
Thanks for any help.

Hi there,

It’s the other way around.
Pure raw is a piece you have to put at the beginning of your workflow.

With the benefit that PR has far more capability in completing the RAW processing steps with than does LR … inclusive of “adaptive” Noise Reduction (as in, specific to the needs of the image) and Lens Softness correction (specific to the {body+lens} combo used to capture the image).
