The Radiant Photo Noise reduction engine is the fastest and most effective on the market for removing high and low ISO noise in photographs, grains in scanned images, JPEG compression artifacts, moiré pattern effects, and much more. With our noise correction, the noise in digital photos is reduced by 2–3 stops so that the noise level of the photo shot at ISO 1600 is effectively reduced to ISO 200–400 levels.
When you turn this adjustment on, you’ll notice how the noise is removed from the image. The Noise correction can be fine-tuned using sliders. Drag to increase the strength of the adjustment. You can also affect how the Details are treated.
To fully understand your options, click the Detailed Scan button. This analyzes your image and suggests the best method (Night, Phone/High-ISO, Portrait, etc.). Even a Strength of 0 applies a baseline improvement, and Detail lets you balance smoothness and texture. If you regularly deal with extreme noise, dedicated tools still have a place; for most images, Radiant’s Noise Reduction is fast, natural, and integrated.
After clicking the Detailed Scan button, you’ll see options. If the icon is grayed out, that method is not recommended for this model. If it is white, then this method is compatible with the image. AN orange icon indicates which method is active.
- Default – a robust, powerful setting for most camera corrections.
- Portrait – The emphasis is to retain the structural and natural color composition but remove larger noise artifacts and blemishes while avoiding an over-processed, plastic look.
- Night Scene – The night setting is optimized for shots where dark areas of the image are mixed with illuminated and potentially detail-intensive areas. We find that the lower frequency noise is the biggest (and solvable) concern for these types of shots with potential noise blotches and color banding.
- Camera Phone – a special engine has been added to correct the grainy quality of most camera phone pictures.
- Strongest – This forces the maximum amount of noise reduction. Be careful with this option, not to overdo it.
Unlike other noise removal solutions that will blur a photo and always apply, our noise removal is automatic! It first analyzes the photo to detect if noise exists and will only remove noise if it exists. Thus, you can turn our noise removal on and robustly batch process a large volume of photos safely, knowing that only noisy images will be corrected.
