Neat Image is computer software that removes digital noise from photographic images and also performs other image quality improvements.
Neat Image is available as a standalone application for Windows, OS X, and Linux, and also as a plugin for Photoshop (Windows, OS X) and Aperture (OS X).
Neat Image improves digital photos from cameras, scanned negative and positive films as well as scanned printed photos.
Neat Image works as a special-purpose digital filter. The filter is specifically designed to reduce visible noise in digital photographic images. In digital camera shots, image noise generally comes from two key sources: random nature of the captured light and imperfect nature of image sensor and camera circuitry, especially in high ISO modes. In scanned images from legacy sources, silver halide grain from high speed film is the main source of noise.
Wherever your images come from, Neat Image can deliver beautiful images with noise and grain notably reduced. Digital images taken with any equipment, processed with Neat Image, will often look as though they were taken under optimal conditions with more expensive gear. Scanned archive images and prints can look contemporary, and can be as grain- and pattern-free as possible. Neat Image greatly improves the visual quality of digital images by reducing the objectionable noise and grain and at the same time preserving the true image details.
Neat Image effectively reduces these kinds of noise:
- Luminance noise
- Color (chroma) noise
- Banding noise
- Salt-and-pepper (impulse) noise
- Electronic interference noise
- Film grain
- JPEG artifacts
- In-camera noise reduction artifacts
- Some other image imperfections
When can Neat Image help?
Neat Image improves image quality by reducing noise, when you have no control over the shooting conditions or the origin of the images.
As an experienced photographer, you know how to minimize noise your photos. You use a top quality camera. You select moderate, not high ISO settings. You use a tripod so that you can take sharper pictures with longer exposures. You can choose to shoot still or slowly moving subjects.
But these optimal conditions don't apply to many real life photography situations. Whether you're a professional paid by the shot, or you're an experienced amateur who wants exhibition quality images, you'll always need better quality from less than ideal shooting situations.
That's where Neat Image comes in. It cleans and enhances images taken from real life.
