![]() At a small size, the effect is hardly noticeable but at a larger size, it provides some pleasant noise relief. It has a light noise removal effect while still leaving a lot of original detail. While more powerful options are available within the application, I like the Lightest preset at an opacity of 100 in many cases. While you can easily find enough functionality in the Presets area, those that want the best results will undoubtedly spend time in the Adjust tab. These two panels on one hand present very much of an either/or proposition, though one could also start with a preset and fine-tune with the adjust column, which opens adjustments over a number of parameters. ![]() Ninety-five percent of your time will be spent in one of the two effect application panels to the right: Presets and Adjust. The basic layout of the app involves a necessarily generous image preview area. – they all have great button shortcuts easily accessible at the top of the application. Saving, sharing, cropping, undoing/redoing, etc. Other button functionality and aesthetics take big design notes from Apple, as they do in Macphun’s other applications. Very seldom did I want to go into the tab that allowed for further adjustments of a number of features from structure to detail and various smoothing options (more on those in a bit).įor those that regularly use Apple’s in-house applications like Preview, Pages, Numbers, etc., the experience in the ‘File’ menu with saving/”saving as” vs. In practice, I found that the presets with the ability to adjust their opacities were more than enough in most circumstances. One good method of comparison may be to click on this image to open it and to then go forward, image by image while reading the captions. This was shot two summers ago during a student riot in Rome on a Nikon D800 at ISO 3200, 1/160th, 50mm, f/1.8. ![]() This is the original file without noise reduction that I will use throughout the review to test Noiseless Pro against Lightroom's built-in noise reduction. Refer to the file names for what the settings are (NP = Noiseless Pro reduction while LR = Lightroom reduction). I apologize for the difficulty of viewing within the post. Please download the files in this folder to have a better view of the noise reduction taking place. (Update: The following files are too small to be able to see the main differences in noise reduction technology. In addition, a standalone application with both basic preset and more advanced options as well as a pleasant, easy-to-navigate interface help make the experience of getting noise out of your images a cinch. ![]() Macphun’s newest Mac application does us the favor of including Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, and even for those who want to keep using Apple’s Aperture. But for those beginning with photography and/or only needing JPEG support, the regular Noiseless application may be the perfect solution. This review will concentrate on the Noiseless Pro application since will likely appeal to any photographer interested in its more advanced features. ![]()
