Filtration options

Audible indication

Neat Image has a simple audible signal system.

The when filtration jobs are processed checkbox is used to enable / disable periodic sounds during filtration process. This may help you monitor the application while it is processing jobs.

Use the when all filtration jobs are done checkbox is to enable / disable a single sound to indicate the end of filtration process.

 

Filtration Job Editor

Auto minimize is to minimize the Filtration Job Editor window during filtration. This has two purposes; one it can speed up the process and conserve memory, and two, it gets the editor out of your way while it works.

Auto restore is to restore the Filtration Job Editor window at the end of filtration.

 

Filtration Queue window

Auto restore is to restore the Filtration Queue window when all filtration jobs are done.

 

Filter process priority

Use this option to adjust the priority of the filtration process running in a multitasking environment:

• Idle — lowest priority; filtration gives way to other applications when necessary;
  
  
• Below — priority below normal; provides the smoothest performance for all applications; this may slow down Neat Image a bit, but will allow you to work normally with other applications, especially if the computer is slow;
  
  
• Normal — normal priority; filtration may slightly slow down other applications.

Auto recalculate preview

This option enables/disables automatic recalculation of preview in the Filtration Job Editor. When enabled, automatic recalculation is invoked every time you select a new image area or change filter parameters. Auto-preview is invoked only when the Noise Filter Settings tab is used.

...every N second(s)

This is the delay in seconds between a change of filter parameters and automatic preview recalculation.
