Yes, it is the way I worked noise reduction before. The noise reduction occurs after I've moved to a TIFF in Photoshop. Of course, if you do not work with RAW files. Neat Image does not differentiate between high and low noise areas.īut of course if you use layers in Photoshop this "limitation" is easily overcome. Ones you have selected type and level of noise suppression, it will be applied to the whole photo. I think you're more sophisticated user of this software, nevertheless I'll share with you my gripes: I own Neat Image and it was my primary noise removal software. Also it does not recognize LrC adjustments. User error? You only have a few things to toggle. In fact, if I recall correctly the user said there are many functions you can "turn on/turn off," which may be responsible for the color shift. Yes, it could have been user error with DeepPrime, also. That's a very common problem: people who aren't very familiar with, or in some cases even attempt to use, all the software controls nevertheless offer opinions about the capability of the software. On the few "online comparisons," it seems like the reviewers who make their comparisons don't really know what they're doing with it - even complain "it's complicated" - and then dismiss it for these reasons. It has more controls (and micro-controls) than most of the software I've seen. I own the software, and am still learning. But my guess is the current user pool is comparatively small. Why did it seemingly fall out of favor? I have no idea. I did not know it was still being updated. Not who just "own it," but those who really know how to use it.Īs Obi-Wan Kenobi said, "Now that is a name I have not heard in a long, long time." There was a time when Neat Image seemed to be a popular tool. I'm wondering how many people are truly accomplished with Neat Image. But in addition to my own experience, I don't recall seeing any reports of that here-and there has been a lot of discussion of DeepPrime with more than a few tests. That's not to say it can't happen, because in weird enough circumstances all sorts of stuff happens in the world. literally changes the color of the image". So I disagree with your stated premise that "Deep Prime. With multiple comparisons and viewed 1:1 on a calibrated monitor, I have not detected any color shift in images processed with DeepPrime. I have been using DxO DeepPrime since the day it was released, and run tests comparing it with DxO's two other types of noise reduction ("HQ" and Prime) and also with no noise reduction. I've heard a lot of banter about the effects of Deep Prime, but in every video tutorial I've watched, it literally changes the color of the image, which I definitely don't like. Chose the one you like and don't worry about the others. We are lucky today in that we have a wide range of excellent software to meet our individual preferences. For example Paintshop Pro was the go to for non Adobe users and this has been largely replaced with Affinity Photo. It is a similar situation with pixel editors. The market is very competitive and not everyone can be successful. Topaz has taken the market for rendered image noise reduction, enhanced by having a suite of products that offer more value the more products you own and a novel take on the perpetual licence where you get 1 years of upgrades including major versions. Now ON1 is doing the same with Denoise AI plugin and integrated into ON1. DXO also offer lens correction and DeepPrime noise reduction able to create a optically corrected noise free dng from a raw file, with Pure Raw, for those users who aren't using DXO. They have all "fallen out of favour" as the built in noise reduction of programs like PS and LR have improved and importantly offered noise reduction within the raw converter.ĭXO with PRIME and DeepPrime upped the game as they provided class leading noise reduction all in the raw converter. Neat Image, Dfine, Noiseware, Photo Ninja etc were all developed comparatively early on in image processing. There was a time when Neat Image seemed to be a popular tool.
