When installing and registering there were no problems. After that I have the PDF manual, which is integrated into the software, printed out for future reference quickly. Then separate a few test photos (jpg format) were shot and you're able.
The dark work surface is clearly structured and easy. Immediately after loading an image, the software starts automatically with the analysis and noise reduction. On the left side you will find the default settings for the categories denoising and sharpening, and for categories JPG, RAW, Mobile and Web. Here you can select favorites, so that the category is active favorites then.
On the right side of the user interface, the Advanced Mode is for finalizing. Here you can get information about the noise performance of the current image and can also select the strength of the automatic denoising: soft, balanced or grainy. In addition to automatic denoising can also choose an automatic image optimization and manual de-noising. In so-called Entrauschungsfarbraum can improve Entrauschungsqualität in a selected color, of course, with a slight drop in the other colors. A total of ten different color spaces are available. In addition, there are various channel representations.
Another possibility is that you can limit the denoising to certain areas, after all, eight different range modes. With a controller you can change the field size. The software also provides the ability to denoise the image data with the aid of correction images. (This software version I'll be testing, since this still dark- and Flatfram recordings are necessary). In the last step, an automatic removal of scratches and sensor errors will be offered.
In addition, you can on the right side select the expert mode, which is used for fine adjustment of the image. Here is a variety of post-processing effects OFFE th, their effect can be immediately checked with a magnifying glass in the comparison of the original image and entrauschtem image. Here it is: Learning by doing, because the variation possibilities are endless, as there are for each selected effect still countless configuration options (such as Opacity). Particularly impressive was here the application of the various color effects. Finally, the software also offers a batch processing can also be exported into another image editing program.
Conclusion: After the first test the software fully convinced: to use and with good to very good results already in the automatic denoising. Further trials will follow soon.
