Once it’s processed photos from that particular camera, it’ll know roughly how long it takes and it will give you that estimate. Underneath that, you’ll see an estimated processing time. Do you want HQ (high quality), PRIME or DeepPRIME? DeepPRIME of course being the best possible quality. First of all, from the top, you choose your method of RAW processing. And then to process it, click on the Process Photos button and this brings up the process dialogue which if you haven’t seen this in a while, you may actually be seeing a couple of new things in here. I don’t want to process all of these photos for this demo I’ll just do one, so I’ll go ahead and select one, let’s say this one here. Now that I’ve got my photos in place, I’m ready to process them. I’ll never have to see that again for this particular camera and lens combo. So here you can see these were shot on a Panasonic Lumix S1R which is a very high resolution, almost 50 megapixel camera with the 24-105mm lens, and it says here “To be downloaded” - I click on Download Selection… as you can see there it’s quite small, downloads very quickly, click on Save and that’s it. Now, once they’re downloaded, you never have to do it again and they’re always very small so it’s quick to do but every time you add a new camera and lens combination photo to your collection, you’ll need to go ahead and download the module for that. These modules allow us to process the images with the absolute utmost quality, and a module has to be downloaded for each individual camera and lens combination. You’ve probably heard about the DxO Optics Modules before and how this is a critical part of how DxO software works. Now, the first thing that pops up is this DxO Optics Modules download. This could be photos that I’ve just copied off of a memory card, and drag them into the interface.

So, I’ll switch back over to the Finder, select all these photos from a new shoot. I can click on the Add Photos to Process button or as you see here, simply drag and drop. There’s not a whole lot going on in here until we add some photos.

So, to start off, this is the basic interface. We’re starting off directly in DxO PureRAW 2, and just in case you either haven’t seen this before or maybe it’s been a while since you’ve looked at it, I do want to show you how the app works just on its own.
