NEW: Topaz DeNoise Aperture compatibility!
Topaz DeNoise is a new and highly effective way to remove digital image noise. It utilizes very recent developments in noise reduction technology that focuses on removing the most noise while preserving the most image detail.
The extraordinary noise reduction and detail retention capabilities of Topaz DeNoise help photographers realize their artistic vision without worrying about technical details like image noise.

"[Topaz DeNoise] does an excellent job of removing noise while preserving details in the images.... This jewel is a real bargain."
Topaz DeNoise's unique noise reduction technology examines the entire image to help determine the difference between noise and detail in a photo.
These proprietary Topaz noise reduction algorithms compare vary favorably to 3rd-party wavelet-based noise reduction filters, so try them out for free.

Low-light no-flash photography is notorious for having severe noise problems even with high-end cameras. Topaz DeNoise solves this problem by providing a complete noise elimination solution that still preserves every single detail.
"Most de-noise software will try to remove noise by blurring the picture, which does work; however, it sacrifices image detail. Topaz DeNoise does a very good job of removing noise while retaining the sharp lines and shapes that define the picture."
Clearly capturing moving objects requires good timing, quick reflexes, and a fast shutter speed. Because in many cases the fast shutter speed isn't letting in enough light, fast action photography often suffers from high noise levels.
Topaz DeNoise completely eliminates this excessive noise while preserving and in many cases enhancing image detail, enabling photographers the ability to shoot fast and clean.
A major advantage that an f/2.8 lens (~$1000) has over an f/5.6 lens (~$150) is that the f/2.8 can use a much larger aperture, allowing it to shoot faster with less noise. In this sense, using Topaz DeNoise instantly upgrades your lens by hundreds of dollars:

The first photo above was taken at f2.8. Using the same ISO and shutter speed, the second photo was taken at f5.6 and the exposure was brought up in Photoshop.
The f2.8 version originally has higher quality than the f5.6 version. However, once the f5.6 version is run through Topaz DeNoise, it actually becomes cleaner, sharper, and clearer than the one taken by the more expensive lens. The subtle details in the lower wall, door frame, and grooves have even been enhanced.

Modern cameras are able to capture digital photos at extremely high ISO ratings. The extraordinary technology in Topaz DeNoise enables photographers to use these images without worrying about noise issues.
Photographer Jorge Diaz from New York wanted to capture a scene in a dimly lit bar, so he used his high-end camera to capture the image on the left at 25600 ISO. The photo, however, is understandably unusable due to the high noise levels caused by using such a high sensor sensitivity.
By using Topaz DeNoise, however, Jorge successfully removed the noise from even the 25600 ISO photo and is left with a clean, detailed image. Without Topaz DeNoise this type of result would be impossible without better lighting.

Topaz DeNoise's supercharged technology works completely under the hood. It automatically detects the correct amount of noise reduction for each image and gives the user a simple control to increase or decrease the amount of reduced noise in the image. Users can quickly tweak this single parameter and see major results.
Topaz DeNoise also includes many different presets and the ability to save and create your own presets. Included presets like Raw Normal, sRAW Normal, and JPEG HQ make processing photos more efficient, and many user groups share useful presets and settings with each other.

The automatic noise detection engine in Topaz DeNoise is also useful for batch processing jobs because it automatically adjusts the level of noise reduction as necessary for each individual image.

Topaz DeNoise supports both 8-bit and 16-bit RGB color modes.

Topaz DeNoise is fully compatible with the latest Photoshop versions on both Mac and Windows. Topaz DeNoise is also fully compatible with Windows 64-bit Photoshop CS4.

Topaz DeNoise is a smart filter and supports non-destructive editing by using Photoshop smart objects.

Topaz DeNoise is completely optimized for computers with multiple CPUs for faster processing.
