“Easily remove noise from your photos”

by Elena Santos

Digital cameras enable us to take better and better images but there are still some occasions when your shots need a bit retouching to reach perfection.

That's the case of noise or grain, a problem that can affect your photos when shooting them in poorly lighted environments. Luckily you can now remove those artifacts in a very easy way with Noiseware Community Edition, a photo retouching and editing tool that enables you to remove noise, grain and other imperfections from your pictures in just one click.

The program includes 10 noise filtering presets and allows you to tweak them but in a limited way, as some of the sliders are only available in a Pro version. After optimizing the image you can compare it to the original one by simply clicking on the photo. If you like it, go ahead and save it.

The program is a doddle to use, but the whole process gets a bit lengthy if you need to optimize many pictures, because you can't work in batches. Also, as another limitation of this version, you can't save pictures with a JPEG quality level higher than 90.

Noiseware Community Edition is a good tool to remove grain and noise from your pictures, as long as you don't have many of them to work on.

From the publisher of NoiseWare Community Edition

Noiseware is a high-performance noise suppression software tool designed to decrease or eliminate noise from digital photo or scanned images.

Unlike most image processing software techniques that utilize simple methods (such as median filters) to treat digital noise in images, Noiseware features a sophisticated yet fast noise filtering algorithm.

Using the adaptive noise profile capability and sharpening function, Noiseware greatly reduces the visible noise while keeping the details in the images.
