DxO PhotoLab 4 was awarded the 2021 TIPA Award for Best Professional Photo-Editing Software

DXO Photo Lab has been awarded TIPA’s 2021 professional photo editing software award. The award is primarily for the applications’ impressive “Deep Prime” noise reduction software. I’ve covered this before a few times and it’s really impressive technology.

From the press release:

The prestigious Technical Image Press Association has recognized the performance of DeepPRIME artificial intelligence technology, which outpaced all other solutions in the market in terms of demosaicing and denoising.

Available in DxO PhotoLab 4, the latest version of DxO’s advanced photo-editing software, DeepPRIME is an artificial intelligence technology dedicated to developing RAW photo files. Trained with deep learning technology using the millions of photos DxO’s laboratories have analysed for the past 15+ years, DxO DeepPRIME drastically improves digital noise reduction while also delivering more effective demosaicing.

A database of calibration images unlike any other in the world

Since its founding in 2003, DxO has earned an international reputation for measuring and calibrating hundreds of cameras and thousands of lenses in its laboratories using a protocol that is more extensive than any other in the industry. DxO's laboratories have measured the amount of distortion, vignetting, chromatic aberrations, loss of sharpness, and digital noise that occur with an extraordinary level of precision. Such in-depth knowledge of the performance and defects of each piece of equipment, which now totals to more than 60,000 different combinations, has been consolidated into a database of several million precisely calibrated images, each one containing several thousand characteristic points.

You can see my previous post on Deep Prime in DXO photo lab here. The technology is also included in their recently released Pure Raw application, although in my opinion, you can get better results in Photo Lab as you have more control. Anyway, it’s good to see them recognised for the technology, as it really is impressive, and it’s a good use of AI.
