Noise Reduction
The Noise Reduction tool enables you to reduce the
effects of digital noise that sometimes appear in images
taken with digital cameras.
A Please note: It is recommended that you zoom your image to
100% while determining the amount of noise reduction to
apply to your image.
To use the Noise Reduction tool to reduce noise throughout your image, follow these steps:
The Noise Reduction tool provides you with the following control:
Intensity
Move the Intensity slider to the right to increase the amount of noise reduction that is applied to the
image. Be careful to not apply too much noise reduction, as high levels of noise reduction may cause loss of
detail.
1
Navigate to the Adjust menu and select Noise Reduction.
2
Select the Method to use on your image, either Faster or Better Quality.
3
Increase the Intensity slider until noise artifacts are no longer displayed within your image.
4
Increase the Sharpness slider until any image details that may have become softer after increasing
the Intensity slider are visible again.
5
Adjust both the Intensity and Sharpness sliders until you reach a good balance of noise reduction
and detail retention.
6
Check the Edge Noise Reduction checkbox if noise is visible along the edges of details within the
image.
