Note: DeNoise AI's noise reduction models are trained on digital, color photographs. When such a conflict is suspected or likely, you should run DeNoise AI early in the editing process before you've edited the noise itself.

Remember, DeNoise AI's noise reduction models are trained on unedited noise. Most of the time, you can probably run DeNoise AI wherever you want in your workflow and it will work just fine, but in some cases, if you edit the noise too much, or if the noise is not recognized by the AI model, the noise reduction might fail. Your noise is found within those same pixels, and as you edit you are affecting both the image you photographed and the noise. Anytime you edit a photo, you alter the pixels in that photo.

This is just a basic sharpening tool for when more complex sharpening is not needed, similar to what you would find in Lightroom or Photoshop.Īs for when to use DeNoise AI, consider how noise is affected by your editing. While it has some sharpening capabilities, these are not the same robust AI sharpening capabilities in Sharpen AI to address concerns such as motion blur and missed focus. In particular, it allows you to reduce noise while retaining fine detail that would be lost in traditional noise reduction tools.
