Neat Image user guide / Device noise profiles

Getting ready-made noise profiles

You may find free ready-made sets of profiles for your digital camera or scanner in:

• Profiles section of Neat Image web page;
  
  
• Device noise profiles section of Neat Image community forum;
  
  
• Other digital imaging forums and web pages from users of Neat Image.

Once you have downloaded and installed* a set of profiles for different modes of your imaging device, you can select an appropriate profile from the set to process specific image.

Please be aware that using ready-made profiles built by other people may produce less than optimal results with your images because of possible slight differences in noise properties of cameras (scanners) as well as due to different imaging processing workflows used. Therefore, we advise to use ready-made noise profile built by others only as a starting point to learn how to use Neat Image. To achieve the best results consider building your own profiles. For that, please follow the guidelines of the next subsections.

* To install a profile set: unzip the downloaded profile archive to the folder specified in Neat Image Options: Folders | Profile folder.
