I love the fact that digital cameras make it quite easy to take photographs. Unlike days gone by, taking a picture now is as simple as pointing the camera and pressing a button. I can immediately see what I shot and if I don’t like the picture, I can delete it and try again. In the past I’d have to wait until I developed the film to see what I shot, and once I had the photograph, there was little I could do to change it.

As much as I like the ease of use, I hate it when I get home and uncover that some images don’t look as good as I thought they did. They looked well on the camera’s small display, but when I saw them on the computer’s large screen, I noticed a lot of noise. So what do I do? I turn to software for help, what else?

The nice thing about digital photographs is that I can easily edit them. If the image has too much noise, I can solve the problem by simply using the right piece of software. In this situation the right piece of software is Neat Image, an easy to use tool that can reduce noise in digital photos. Thanks to this application I can easily reduce high ISO noise from digital images, film grain that is visible in scanned images, and other noise types specific to images shot with digital cameras.

The program is very simple to install and quick at it, too. The software supports most versions of Microsoft Windows and there's also a version for Macintosh users. Despite the fact that it's an image editing software, the system requirements are extremely low. Besides being a standalone version for Windows and Mac, there is also a Neat Image plug-in for Photoshop and a plug-in for Aperture.

For the program to do its job, the user has to open an image first. Neat Image supports the most used image formats. After loading the image, the user has to load a profile file which contains the noise removal settings. Fortunately, Neat Image can create an automatic profile, by analyzing the image. The level of noise reduction can be easily changed from the program's settings. After this, the user can preview the image before the noise reduction process occurred and after it. Neat Image also supports a batch mode, for removing noise out of more than one picture simultaneously.

Pros

It's very easy to use even by beginners. It also features noise reduction and smart sharpening. Besides that, the user can preview the original image and the corrected one, to quickly spot the differences.

Cons

The settings for configuring the noise removal process are few. Neat Image is a great software for removing noise from any type of photo, making it perfect.
