![]() ![]() The manual sharpening slider also yielded excellent results without creating haloing or other artifacts or increasing noise. I kept trying to improve on the automatic detail enhancement, but never felt I was successful. Color noise reduction is always set to 100 percent in the automatic correction and I found no reason to change that. With landscapes and other images, I prefer a little bit of “grain” in the image, so I back off the luminance noise correction somewhat. The automatic noise reductions and detail enhancement are excellent if you are looking for noise-free results from portraits or weddings. What Works Well in ON1 NoNoise AI In batch processing mode, you can correct one image and the same settings can be applied to the others in the batch automatically on export, or each image can be adjusted individually. Output options are plentiful and you can create your own presets for future use. However, if you don’t need anything but the automatic or manual adjustments in the right panel, you can export the result as a DNG for further raw processing, or as a TIFF, JPEG, PNG, or PSD. Pop-up tool tips with access to learning tools are immediately available for new users. After completing your adjustment in the right panel, you click the blue “Apply” icon that bakes them into the bottom layer and allows access to the left panel tools.

Sliders in the right panel allow you to manually adjust the automatic luminance and color noise reduction and detail enhancement, and also to add and adjust sharpening. The noise reduction and detail enhancement are performed automatically by NoNoise. New users of ON1 software will have no problem either. The interface retains the look of ON1 Photo RAW, to which it will likely become a part in the future, so Photo RAW users will feel immediately at home. The image initially opens at 100 percent with a split screen displaying the original on the left and the automatically corrected version on the right. I found that it was best for me to simply navigate to the raw file using the stand-alone.Ĭlicking “Auto On” changes it to “Auto Off” and allows you to change the automatic processing of luminance and color noise reduction and detail enhancement to suit your personal taste. The manual provides instructions for accessing NoNoise through ON1 Photo RAW. ![]() During installation NoNoise adds a plug-in to any copies of Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, Capture One, Affinity Photo, Corel Paint Shop Pro, or Apple Photos on your computer. Opening an image in NoNoise is possible by dragging and dropping or browsing to it in the stand-alone version, or opening it through a plug-in. And if you make an error, the History panel allows you to return to any previous point in your process. You can add layers with masks to fine tune any part of the image. This allows you to tailor your noise reduction and sharpening to specific areas of your image. NoNoise also provides a crop tool and a sophisticated masking ability borrowed from ON1 Photo RAW. This sharpening step (sometimes called “pre-sharpening”) is often recommended by imaging experts for application early in the raw image processing, but rarely available in software. While no sharpening is automatically applied, there is a manual sharpening and detail adjustment (with threshold) available. The capabilities of NoNoise extend beyond automatic noise reduction and detail enhancement however. Other software performs noise reduction later in the processing chain, allowing image noise to propagate further up the imaging process. ON1 NoNoise performs noise reduction and detail enhancement automatically during the demosaicing process during which sensor “0s” and “1s” become a color image. The ability to differentiate noise from fine image detail improves the closer the noise reduction process occurs to the original image data. ![]() What’s New: Automatic Noise Reduction and Detail Enhancement I recently tested the initial release of the $69.99 ON1 NoNoise AI software as a stand-alone and plug-in and achieved impressive results. Sharpening controls are available to extract the maximum quality from a raw image. Used as a stand-alone or plug-in, ON1 NoNoise uses machine learning AI to eliminate luminance and color noise while preserving image detail to the highest level. As ISO numbers increase, so does capture noise. Given its many advantages- less equipment to haul and set up, less need for assistants, more candid results, etc.-available or LED lighting has one main disadvantage. With the improved ability of sensors to capture high ISO images along with auto-ISO settings, photographers more and more are moving away from electronic flash lighting for their portrait and wedding assignments, and relying more on available light or LED lighting. ![]()
