Noise Removal Options

Despeckle

Removes noise.

Square

Removes noise using a 3 x 3 pixel square.

X

Removes noise using a 3 x 3 pixel X shape. Use this option when you want to preserve an image's thin and diagonal lines.

Plus

Removes noise using a 3 x 3 pixel plus (+) shape. Use this option when you want to preserve an image's thin, vertical, and horizontal lines.

Hybrid

Removes noise using a 3 x 3 pixel square, a 3 x 3 pixel X shape, and a 3 x 3 pixel plus (+) shape. Use this option when you want to preserve an image's thin, diagonal, horizontal, and vertical lines. When hybrid is selected you have additional noise removal options:

  • Luminance: Drag the slider to the left or right to control variations in brightness.
  • Color: Drag the slider to the left or right to control variations in color (hue and saturation). For example, drag the slider to the right if you want to reduce color variation. However, you should be careful about reducing color variation (that is caused by noise) because you could unintentionally reduce real color variations in a photo.

Reset

Discards all changes and reverts to the original noise level.
