What is noise?

Every digital camera creates imperfections in images called „noise”, which appears as unwanted dots, lines and smudges of color. An excessive amount of noise ruins an image by taking attention away from the photo’s qualities. On the other hand, too much noise reduction destroys precious photo detail and sharpness, which also compromises your art. The trick is to only remove noise and not detail – something that is exceedingly hard to do.

Dual-Directional Debanding Technology

One of the new DeNoise 5 features is a debanding tab on the user interface, used to remove banding noise from images. This new debanding technology tackles dual-directional banding noise, eliminating the long lines that extend across images to restore image color, detail and integrity.

Shadow Tone Restoration

When removing noise from dark or shadow areas of an image, a hazy color cast can appear, usually red or blue. The Correct Black Level parameter returns the true richness and color to those darker tones.
