Let's De-Noise a Noisy Photo

What exactly is ‘noise’? Noise or digital noise as we often call it, is a type of distortion that looks similar to what ‘grain’ was/is with films. There are several types of noise, but to keep things simple, we shall mention only ‘luminance’ (brightness) noise and ‘chroma’(colour) noise.

Upgrade Your Editing Suite

The Nik Collection by DxO is not a single plugin or suite, but a collection of eight plugins for Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, Elements, DxO PhotoLab and Serif Affinity. The collection offers a vast library of exclusive presets along with a host of retouching tools. This collection of plugins allow you to edit your images easily without much technical expertise. Being a pack of plugins, it is not feasible to illustrate the capabilities of each of these in a few pages. While this review might not bring out all the capabilities in detail, we would try to evaluate the Nik Collection as a whole and attempt to look at each of these in details in our subsequent issues. For this review, I am using the Nik Collection from Photoshop.
