Reduce Noise

The Reduce Noise filter reduces luminous noise and color noise, such as the noise introduced by photographing with insufficient light. Select the Remove JPEG Artifacts option to remove the blocky artifacts and halos that are caused by saving an image at a low JPEG quality setting.

In this photo, taken with a mobile phone, there’s noise in the boy’s face (left). The Reduce Noise filter smooths away the stray pixels (right).
