Topaz denoise plugin download5/21/2023 ![]() *The first set of images were taken with the averaged metering reading “0” for the scene. I did little to no tweaking with these, other than to see which of the v.5 presets (running them through both) I’d find to be the best for the image, but below you can see side by side the same images taken at the same ISO values, run through 5 and 6 with the original file on the left. If you don’t already have DeNoise, I highly suggest downloading the full free trial via the link below, and giving it a try. That it now acts as a batch processing standalone too is pretty radical. If we as users would be asked to pay for the upgrade, I’d say there would be little to justify the price on the surface alone, but seeing as we get it for free, it’s a no brainer. Same with the Auto Brightness, and while those features are not in any way new, the larger buttons seem to play better with my brain, and I was using the different modes quite often to asses different areas of noise. I rarely clicked the Preview mode tick box/bubbles in 5 to see the difference between RGB, Luma, et al. So, how does 6 stack up? Well, while I feel the true changes are more cosmetic, those changes seem to make it more intuitive and easier to start to really alter the preset settings. Obviously we’ll want to examine the noise at 100% or higher, but this viewing versatility is a small thing that for me at least, will make a decent difference in how useful DeNoise is for me when assessing the entire image. The zoom/resizing command moves up above the top right corner of the image, and now allows us to view the whole image, where in v.5, we could only go as small as 100%, which is really nice now having the ability to see more of the image we’re working on. The big bonus though is the ability to build and add to groups of presets either to a specific camera or shoot, situation, lighting, etc. Mostly cosmetic changes to the UI and layout, bringing it more in line with the other Topaz plugins as would be expected. Have a look at the screen shots below (click to see larger): As I worked through the shots below, I built custom Lumix GX8 presets at each high ISO setting and saved them in a GX8 preset group for easy access in the future.
