We&#8217;ll look at the results from each of the three processing modes (<strong>DeNoise AI, AI Clear <\/strong>and<strong> Low Light<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Keep in mind that Topaz may intend DeNoise to be used mainly for digital images, but here on the Plugs &#8216;n Pixels blog we like to push the software hard! <em>You can open any of these screenshots in a new tab or window to view at 100%.<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, the <strong>DeNoise AI mode<\/strong> as applied to an interior shot of a historical Southern US mansion. The result almost looks as if it were shot on medium format film!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1006\" src=\"https:\/\/plugsandpixels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/01denoisecurtains.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plugsandpixels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/01denoisecurtains.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/plugsandpixels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/01denoisecurtains-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/plugsandpixels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/01denoisecurtains-1536x805.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, <strong>AI Clear mode<\/strong> (which is my favorite option and seems to work well with many types of images). This shot is of the east coast of Florida from a commercial jet, through the dirty window. There&#8217;s no sand on the surface of the ocean so it shouldn&#8217;t look like that in the photo! Even the beach got cleaned up, and detail was restored to the various buildings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1006\" src=\"https:\/\/plugsandpixels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/02denoisebeach.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2497\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plugsandpixels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/02denoisebeach.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/plugsandpixels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/02denoisebeach-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/plugsandpixels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/02denoisebeach-1536x805.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another example of <strong>AI Clear mode<\/strong> is this photograph of a Colonial-era reenactment actor. The original is a mess but the processed results are quite smooth:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1916\" height=\"1003\" src=\"https:\/\/plugsandpixels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/03denoisepilgrim.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plugsandpixels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/03denoisepilgrim.jpg 1916w, https:\/\/plugsandpixels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/03denoisepilgrim-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/plugsandpixels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/03denoisepilgrim-1536x804.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1916px) 100vw, 1916px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we explore <strong>Low Light mode<\/strong> with this shot of a disco ball in some darkened dance hall.
