Does the new Pure Raw 2 support the OM-1?
I, too, am wondering when Pure Raw 2 will be updated to accommodate the OM-1. Thanks!

Not yet Mark. I have installed DxO PureRaw 2 Version 2.0.1 and the OM-1 is not supported yet.
Thanks for raising this issue.
Thanks Larry, I was holding back on the update until the OM-1 files are included. Don’t want to buy it twice…:-))
This was a response from @Marie regarding OM-1 support. She indicated it should be before the summer but there is no precise timeline. See attached link.

Thanks Mark.
According to DxO, support for the OM-1 in PureRaw should be available in a few weeks.
Mark
Tks Mark for your information.

With regards to PureRAW @Marie indicated it “should” be ready be before summer. There was no specific guaranty of an exact date. Unfortunately, things sometimes get delayed for various reasons.
People get frustrated that DxO often takes much longer then other publishers when creating new optics modules and making them available. For what it’s worth, try to keep in mind that DxO’s optics modules are far superior to any of their competitions profiles. This point is mentioned very often in third party reviews of DxO’s products. One of the downsides of DxO’s superior optics modules is that creating and testing them takes more time and effort than their competitor’s. When they are working on creating a large number of new camera and lens profiles, and have to implement them in two different software titles, and on both the Mac and Windows platform, it can increase the total effort quite a bit.
Most users tend to accept those delays, as frustrating as they may be, because in the end they know they will get superior results from DxO’s optics modules. At one time or another all of us here have had to wait for new camera or lens support, sometimes for quite a long while. All I can suggest is that you try to be patient. The results are usually well worth the wait.
Mark,

Yes, No one is disputing that the plan was to implement support in June. Sometimes plans change. I had to wait almost 3 months for support of my Nikon Z fc in PhotoLab.

I’ve had enough then, always these delays. Topaz is offering an introductory discount on Denoise, so I’ll consider switching. Denoise and Sharpen from Topaz are also sufficient. DXO PhotoLab 5 already has the OM SYSTEM Olympus OM-1 integrated, most people can’t understand why it should take until the end of July for PureRaw. Your lens profiles may be great, but that alone is not enough, satisfied customers are also important.

DxO’s superior profiles take longer because they require more effort than the competition. I understand your concerns and delays are frustrating. I have had to deal with them myself. I assume your goal is the best image quality. Since you have acknowledged that DxO’s lens profiles are great, in my opinion they are worth the wait rather than switching to an alternative which will likely give you less satisfying results. I have a license for Topaz Denoise AI and as good as it is, it is not in the same league as DeepPRIME. I also have a license for ON1 PhotoRAW 2022.5 which I rarely use. Their NoNoise denoising, also available as a standalone product, is no match for DeepPRIME either.
Mark.
I don’t doubt the superiority of the DXO profiles either, they are really great. But I am also very satisfied with the camera profiles supplied so far by Capture One or Lightroom. I need PureRaw primarily for denoising and sharpening my photos and Topaz can keep up with that quite well. I transfer a photo from C1 or LR to PureRaw and then process the DNG, that’s all. In the next few days I’ll test how it works with Topaz and then decide how to proceed.
Once again, the OM-1 is already supported in PhotoLab 5, so it can’t be that difficult to do the same in PureRaw.
Sometimes I get the impression that DXO doesn’t treat MFT the same way as other systems.

I wouldn’t make that assumption. It took almost 3 months for DxO to provide support for my Nikon Z fc mirrorless APS-C body, and that required upgrading to PhotoLab 5 when it was released. It was not a big deal for me because I was going to upgrade anyway.
It also took a while for the Nikon Z9 to be supported, and the HE mode for that camera won’t be supported for a while yet.
Mark
Topaz Denoise AI and ON1’s NoNoise can keep up with Deep Prime up to about 1600-2000 ISO, DP is still cleaner and more detailed but the other two are still not bad at these “low” ISOs. At really high ISO’s DxO’s Deep Prime blows the other two away.
Here’s what you will be giving up. This is a photo shot by forum member Mike Myers. It was taken at 12,800 ISO: Top left is the original NEF file with no noise reduction applied; Top right is ON1 NoNoise; Bottom left is DxO Deep Prime; Bottom right is Topaz Denoise AI. All the noise-reduced files were processed with their default settings. I had to raise the exposure of all four files by two stops so that you could see anything. Files are all viewed in FastStone IV at 300% magnification. I just wanted to let you know. 
I’m not sure if the differences are visible on the forum so please click the screenshot twice to see it full scale.
