DxO offers an AI Sensor Dust Removal System in DxO PureRAW 6, released in March 2026, that automatically detects and removes sensor dust marks from entire batches of RAW photos. The system runs locally on the user's computer and allows photographers to adjust how aggressively it searches for dust spots.
Details
When a camera's image sensor accumulates dust, tiny dark spots appear repeatedly across photos, particularly visible in areas such as plain skies. The AI Sensor Dust Removal feature in PureRAW 6 analyzes RAW image files to detect these spots and remove them automatically across entire batches of images in seconds, without requiring the photographer to manually identify and clone-stamp each spot individually. Users can adjust a sensitivity threshold to control how aggressively the tool hunts for spots before processing. All processing occurs on the user's local machine.

Other practices by DxO
OtherDxO offers AI Masks and Depth Masks in Nik Collection 9, released in April 2026, which use on-device AI to help photographers make precise local adjustments to specific subjects or depth zones within a photo. The tools run locally on the user's machine without sending image data to external servers.OtherDxO offers AI Masks in DxO PhotoLab 9, a tool that uses machine learning to instantly identify and isolate specific subjects — such as skies, faces, hair, people, animals, or backgrounds — so photographers can apply targeted adjustments to those areas. The feature was introduced in DxO PhotoLab 9 in October 2025 and runs entirely on the user's local device.OtherDxO offers DeepPRIME, a machine learning-powered engine built into DxO PhotoLab and DxO PureRAW that automatically reduces digital noise and converts RAW photo data into cleaner, sharper images. The engine, first introduced in DxO PureRAW 1 in 2021, processes RAW image files locally on the user's computer without sending data to the cloud.
