![]() The truth of the matter here is that each piece of software is evolving. Topaz isn’t bad, though, so it’s really tough. If I had to pick a winner, I would be torn between Luminar Noiseless AI and ON1 NoNoise AI 2023. We’ll see what happens when the Neural Filter lands. All the other software I used in this comparison was far simpler and more effective. They are all manual, giving us options to change by way of slider adjustments. The noise reduction features currently fall within the Filters section of Adobe Photoshop. I’m a big fan of Adobe, but they’re falling behind when it comes to noise reduction. When we see the full image, the difference is barely noticeable. We’ll have it covered as soon as this drops, but I’m using the Reduce Noise Filter for now. Adobe PhotoshopĪdobe Sensei drives some awesome Neural Filters, but their Noise Reduction Neural Filter isn’t available yet. ![]() I’ll go through each piece of software now and have a complete side-by-side at the end at 100%. Where there’s an automatic function available, that’s what I’ll be using. I’m opening the raw photo directly into each piece of software without any prior edits. In this battle, I’ll be using the following software and features: You can see just how much noise there is right here when I zoom in: I’ve selected this image because it was taken in the dark, and that’s where we often encounter noise in our photos. When I’m looking for the northern lights, I take quick shots to help me compose, which is what this is. I took this shot last winter on a moonless night. This is a shot from the shores of Jökulsárlón in Iceland. I’ll quickly explain what’s going on here. Here’s what we’re working with: Advertisements I’ve searched through my raw images to find a particularly noisy shot to work with. Today I’m demonstrating the power of AI in the form of a battle, putting the leading noise removal software head-to-head. I recently wrote about whether we should be worried about AI in photography. The Nik Collection (DxO) also comes with standalone versions, so you could give it a try and see if that works for you.įor me all Nik Collection plugins do work without problems in Affinity Photo v1 and v2, and I don't need to use the mentioned workaround for these.Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are everywhere in photography now. I never found the reason for this though. Then I switch back to Affinity Photo while ON1 Effects is running in the background and I can successfully launch the ON1 Effects plugin from Affinity and everything is working as expected. My workaround in that case is to start the standalone version of the program (ON1 Effects for example) besides Affinity Photo so that the main program is just running. ![]() ![]() When I select on of these from the menu, they just don't do anything. ![]() I am having this problem with ON1 plugins (in Affinity Photo 1 and 2 as well). Because of that I developed a habit to not rely on the central plugin folder but specify the plugin path explicitly for each of the „problematic“ plugins (see screenshot).Īs far as plugins „just doing nothing“ are concerned: Some of these problems were related to „wrong“ versions of plugin files lurking in the plugin folder. I also experienced some crashing or „just not working“ plugins with Affinity. Topaz tries and I get a message that eror with plugins and then tries to open but crashes Affinity 2 ![]()
