The full before and after images followed by 100% crops. Here’s another example before and after! This was shot with the Panasonic Lumix GX7, in RAW at ISO 3200, +0.33ev using the PanaLeica 25mm f/1.4 lens wide open (f/1.4 1/100sec). Add the debanding control to that and DeNoise, for me, is the absolute best noise reduction software I’ve ever used. Often, they do okay, but like so many other things, if you’re able to take the time, addressing different variables result in a better end file. Not all noise reacts equally, and I’ve found noise reductions done by camera and lens, don’t necessarily do great at differing rates of focus falloff with varying depth of field coupled with luminosity and color channel gradations. Along with that, the detail recovery and blur reduction sliders offer a wonderful amount of control and individual customization. This is one area I’ve found other noise reduction software, or my Digital Asset Management program NR to struggle (Light Room and Aperture are the two I’ve used). One really useful and unique slider, especially in the case of this example image, was the “Clean Color” slider (see screen shot below) which eliminated some pretty severe mottling in the reds on the flower petals. As shown above, with a shot taken at ISO 12,800 even, the end result is clean and usable for many applications. Topaz claims that DeNoise can make your ISO 1600 shots look like shots taken at ISO 100, and I have no reason to challenge that, in fact, I’ve found the ability to even get ISO 3200 shots to look remarkably clean with little to no detail loss. While I don’t get the same level of detail that I would if I were able to shoot the same image at say ISO 100, I am continually amazed at how well DeNoise does to not only eliminate noise, but to protect and bring back detail. Have a look at crops at 100% from the above images (click to see them larger). Here is a frame taken with the GX7 at ISO 12,800 before running through Topaz DeNoise5:Īnd here is the same frame after DeNoise: C’mon in to see some before and after examples… Just use the code “ mardenoise” at checkout to get the discount. Topaz is running this sale through the end of March via Topaz Labs Website HERE. It’s pretty amazing to see what this software can do for your high ISO images. I have written up a more in depth review on DeNoise 5 before, and feel it is one of the best, and most effective plugins I use. Hi guys! Your monthly Topaz deal is here! Topaz Labs is offering up DeNoise for 50% off.
