Reducing Noise

You can reduce noise in your images caused by high ISO settings or long exposure.

You can save your settings as a preset for future use.

To Reduce Noise in Your Image:

  1. In Develop mode, select the Detail tab.
  2. In the Noise Reduction group, adjust the sliders as described below.

Noise Reduction Options

Luminance Noise

Drag the slider to the right to reduce the visibility of lighting noise. Apply a setting that is proportional to the noise in the image and refer to the preview window to ensure that you balance the level of noise reduction with loss of detail.

Strength

Drag the slider to the right to control how aggressively to reduce noise. Prevent the loss of detail by balancing Luminance Noise with Strength.

Color Noise

Drag the slider to the right to remove color noise from the image.
