How to Remove Noise in Photos : Topaz Denoise Review 2. Last week I was visiting Sean at his rental in Playa del Carmen and was awed by his view overlooking the water. We went up to the terrace and I used Photosynth on my i. Phone to capture this panoramic photo of his gorgeous view: Later when I got home and looked at the photo I saw how much noise there was. It was getting into the evening so the i. Phone’s tiny sensor picked up a lot of ugly noise in the photo, which can be viewed especially in the sky. After posting the photo to my Facebook I was pretty unhappy with how it turned out since there was so much ugly noise in the sky. I rememebered that one of the products Topaz makes (we use Topaz Adjust for some of our photos) was Topaz Denoise. I.

So what I did was use two settings: I selected the buildings/non- sky using the Quick Selection Tool (W)I fired up Topaz Denoise, and used “jpeg – moderate” to get rid of the noise in the bottom part of the photo without losing too much detail. I then selected the inverse (sky), fired up Topaz Denoise, and used “jpeg – strongest” to get rid of the heavy noise in the sky, where blurring wasn’t much of a problem. Here is the resulting photo, using strongest denoise for the sky and moderate denoise for the bottom half and the buildings: This was a more complicated way of doing this, obviously. Often times you can just use 1 setting and get your photo de- noised in a just a few clicks. Conclusion. Overall I’m happy with how Topaz Denoise performs. While you can use the blur tool in Photoshop to create a similar effect in parts of a noisy photo, Denoise makes this possible without losing a lot of detail in between (and the process is way faster).
