It’s often difficult to avoid image noise of any kind, especially in low light, or if you need to share a cropped version of a photo. If your camera and shooting conditions result in a lot of noisy images, investing in noise reduction software may be a good idea.

Topaz Denoising AI is one of the most popular options out there, and from what we’ve seen, it’s one of the best. It uses machine learning to better distinguish image detail from noise, and it works well. It provides users with preset models, but also allows for customization.

AI noise reduction

Distinguishing content from noise is difficult, which is why the developers of this app used machine learning to help with the process. After going through millions of noisy images, the algorithm learned to better identify color and luminance noise.

A common problem with denoisers is that they make the processed image look washed out and somewhat blurry. This is the result of excess detail being removed along with noise. With the app’s profiles and customizable settings, as well as the artificial intelligence engine, losing too much detail is easily avoided.

Process your photos quickly and intuitively

After importing one or more photos, you can choose one of the presets, or let the app decide which is best. I always recommend comparing the presets yourself, as the app won’t always choose the ideal model. If it’s not just right, you can also customize noise reduction, sharpness, and post-processing.

The preview result is also very intuitive. You can examine before and after images side by side or in split view, and you can compare all four preset models at once. However, the preview needs to be regenerated every time you pan or zoom.

Selective denoising and batch processing

Noise reduction isn’t perfect, and sometimes areas of the photo aren’t particularly noisy, but are negatively affected by the noise reduction engine. In this case, you can apply a mask to define which areas of the photo should be edited or exclude an area from the process.

The app also supports batch editing. You can import multiple photos and apply the same settings to all photos or adjust them individually. This allows faster processing of albums because you don’t have to restart the job for each image.

Outstanding results and intuitive controls

Topaz DeNoise AI is an amazing tool for photographers who have to deal with lots of noisy images. It’s fast, intuitive, and produces high-quality photos with minimal loss of detail. It also comes with plugins for Photoshop and Lightroom Classic that allow you to remove noise while editing your photos.
