Description: Neat Image is a filter designed to reduce visible noise and grain in photographic images produced by digital cameras and scanners. Neat Image is indispensable in low-light (indoors, night, astro) and high-speed (sport, action) photography. It is a tool for both professional photographers and digital image processing enthusiasts.

Neat Image highlights:
• Neat Image is a noise reduction plug-in (plugin for Photoshop) and standalone application
• Neat Image provides the most accurate noise reduction currently available
• Neat Image efficiently reduces noise of the following types:

o high ISO noise produced by image sensors of digital cameras
o film grain visible in scanned images
o JPEG artifacts and more...

• Neat Image uses noise profiles; a large library of camera and scanner profiles is available
• Neat Image for Windows is available in several editions: from free Demo to $74.90 Pro+ edition

1.QUALITY OF NOISE REDUCTION
provided by Neat Image is higher than that of all other methods because:

Neat Image uses the most advanced noise reduction algorithms in the industry. Neat Image noise reduction algorithms are developed specifically for digital photography applications by a highly-qualified professional image processing research group. These algorithms surpass the quality of all classic noise reduction methods and even that of the wavelet-based methods. Although the wavelet-based methods were developed only 10-15 years ago and are still considered relatively modern, Neat Image uses an even newer and more efficient approach to noise reduction. This approach enables drawing a more clear distinction between noise and details in noisy images. This helps

Neat Image reduce more noise and better preserve true image details in digital photos and scans.Neat Image builds and uses device noise profiles to adapt noise reduction to imaging device
A device noise profile is a reusable analysis of noise properties of an image acquisition device (a digital camera, scanner, etc.) working in a certain mode. Using a noise profile for an imaging device in effect makes Neat Image noise reduction custom-tailored to this imaging device.
Device noise profile is a novel concept originally introduced by Neat Image team and supported by Neat Image user community who create noise profiles for many digital cameras and scanners.

2.RICH FUNCTIONALITY AND HIGH PERFORMANCE
of Neat Image enables both beginners and experienced users to easily achieve great results
Neat Image can be used in both Photoshop-centric and standalone workflow
Photoshop plug-in version of Neat Image can apply noise reduction and sharpening exactly where is required: in a layer, channel, or selection
The plug-in fully respects transparency of image data like the Photoshop built-in filters do, so you can apply noise reduction with different strength to different image areasNeat Image plug-in can work as a smart filter in Photoshop CS3Neat Image Pro+ plug-in can run in Photoshop actions and apply required analysis and filtration completely automatically
You can automatically batch process images using the Photoshop batch facility and an action with Neat Image Pro+ plug-in Neat Image plug-in can be used with the following plug-in hosts:

 Adobe Photoshop CS3 / CS3 Ext / CS2 / CS / 7 / 6 / 5
 Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 / 5 / 4 / 3 / 2

 Corel Photopaint X4 / X3 / 12
 Ulead PhotoImpact 12 / 11 / 10 / XL / 8
 PhotoLine32
 Microsoft Digital Image Suite 2006
 Microsoft Digital Image Pro
 Serif PhotoPlus
 IrfanView
 XnView
 and more

Neat Image standalone works directly with image files and can process many images at once using built-in queue / batch processing tools.

Neat Image standalone supports command line interface and can be used as a part of a workflow based on command line batch processing.
