If you use Lightroom, Capture One or some other software to view and process your raw files, you’ll have formed a good idea of the quality you can get from your images. If you try DxO PureRAW 4, you might just have to change your mind.
Almost all image editing tools can now process raw files. They do this using the software’s own proprietary ‘demosaicing’ process to turn the red, green and blue sensor data into full colour images. Some do this raw processing better than others, however, and if you use Adobe Lightroom, for example, you might end up with a completely different idea of your camera’s image quality than if you use Capture One. Even the best photo editing software can have weaknesses, and sometimes it's the raw processing quality and noise handling.
