I have the same problem with NIK plugins it gets right to the end and shows all the filters but they're all pale and don't work. Under the Filters menu>Plugins>NeatImage> Reduce Noise v8, as it should be, but "Reduce Noise v8" is pale and doesn't work. So, if you're not confident moving Windows system files around, or you are a Mac person, then go straight to step 7 above.Actually, I'm having the same problem with NeatImage and NIK: What I actually discovered is that my NeatImage.8bf file is actually just in theĬ:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 6.0 \Plugins folder, not in the Filters sub-folder.ĭon't do this unless you have already re-started Photoshop after installing NI and confirmed the test in step 5 below fails.Ģ) Make sure you have Windows Explorer set up to show all file extensions, even recognised ones.ģa) Find where the "NeatImage.8bf" file is and move it to where mine is (if not already there)ĥ) See if the Photoshop menu path: Filter > Neat Image > Reduce Noise now existsĦ) If it doesn't work, put the file back where you found itħ) Summon assistance from Neat Image Tech support by e-mail.ĭisclaimer: if it all stops working, don't blame me please Now obviously you have something different to my "Photoshop Elements 6.0", probably "Photoshop CS4". I would have expected, for a Plugin to work in Elements or Photoshop, you need the file, in this case called NeatImage.8bf, placed in the following folder tree (on a Windows Vista PC):Ĭ:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 6.0 \Plugins\Filters Hmmm, I was intrigued, so I looked where it is in my system and I have to say it isn't (quite) where I expected. I believe you will need to re-start Photoshop after installing Neat Image, or it won't appear in the PS Filters menu, but assuming you did that, here is what to try next. It is installed in the right folder but does not work. I have to say though, for some reason, I am still not able to use the plug in from within Photoshop. When I used the Fuji S6500 I used this on almost every picture I shot at, or over, 200 ISO, I would urge anyone with a bridge or compact camera that is bothered by noise in their pics to do the same. a shot in a forest with only trees and leaves in download a set of profiles for your camera model and use the one for the image type (jpg or RAW) and iso speed that was used for the shot, instead. G) If you really don't have an area of no detail to sample only noise from, e.g. See g) alsoį) If you want to abort the correction altogether, just click the red X to Close the app, you will be returned to Elements. If so, in step 2, just drag the box to a more relevant area and click Auto profile button again.Ĭ) I generally just go with the "Noise Reduction Amounts" at their defaults of 60% Luminance and 100% Chrominance, but these can be tweaked (on right hand side) in step 4ĭ) I don't use Neat Image to apply sharpening or other processingĮ) Very occasionally Auto Profile may not be able to find an area of image that contains no image detail with which to sample the noise (red sample box) - in this case if it gets it wrong it may remove required image detail, fear not - in step 2, just drag the sample box to other areas until a better result is obtained. I haven't found the need to go any deeper than the suggested tweaks in Notes b) or c) below - but then I may just be lazy, or too easily pleasedįor the fastidious, there are enormous possibilities for fine tuning, batching, etc., see the Neat Image website for details.Ī) Always do this before you crop an image and at full resolution, in fact I usually do it first thing after the RAW conversion, or on opening if original image was jpg.ī) If the Auto profile didn't achieve the desired results, this may be because it chose an area of image that isn't relevant to the final shot. Iii) See also c), d) and f) below 5) Click Apply button, the image will reappear in Elements and after a short delay the noise filtering will be applied. Ii) Click and drag preview box to a different area of the image as necessary, as you do this, after a short delay you will see the preview area noise reduction kick in, this is helpful to assess effects on fine detail I) Use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in to 100%
