Noise Reduction
Selecting this tool displays the following controls
in the image adjustment palette:
• Noise Reduction: Enable or disable noise reduction.
• Method: Select Faster for faster processing, Better
Quality or Better Quality 2013 for more accurate
noise reduction. Selecting Better Quality 2013
allows separate Intensity and Sharpness
adjustments for Luminance and Color (RAW
images only).
• Intensity: Choose from values between 0 and
100. The higher the value, the smoother the im-
age and the less visible the artifacts caused by
image "noise".
• Sharpness: Choosing high values for Intensity
may smooth the image to the point that details
are lost; this can be countered by increasing
Sharpness.
• Edge Noise Reduction (RAW images only): Make outlines
more distinct by reducing the occurrence of
noise artifacts around edges.
• Astro Noise Reduction (RAW images only): Reduce the occurrence of randomly-spaced
bright pixels in long exposures.
