De-noising and intelligent sharpening Refiner cleans out unwanted grain, deals with JPEG artifacts, smooths skin tones, and improves sharpness without exaggerating noise.   And there's more...

Prices: Refiner: £9.99 ::  or buy Conditioner + Refiner + MetaGrad for: £19.99

Three powerful tools to improve your images...

• Smoothing: a sophisticated discriminating smoothing algorithm reduces unwanted grain and Jpeg artifacts, and can be used in any of seven targeted modes to deal with almost all eventualities:
  • Normal smoothes the whole image
  • Skin Smoothing is a colour-targeted mode ideal for portraits
  • Unsaturated Areas smoothes the less colourful image areas
  • Midtones preferentially reduces noise in the mid-tone areas
  • Colour Exclusion smoothes everywhere except areas of a selected colour
  • Saturated Areas smoothes the more colourful areas
  • Shadows and Highlights reduces noise in the shadow and highlight areas
• Sharpening: the intelligent sharpening feature allows your images to be sharpened without exaggerating grain or other artifacts.
• Diffusion: many noise-suppression tools give images an unrealistic, "over-smoothed" look. Refiner's inbuilt diffusion filter combats this and gives a pleasing finish that's great for portraits!

Examples...

Each of these example images is shown at 1:1 zoom in order to show the effect more clearly. Hover your mouse pointer over each image to see the result of applying the effect...

This image was taken on the (very) poor quality camera built into my mobile phone. There's a lot of noise visible in all areas of the image, which is especially apparent at 100% zoom as here. Refiner is able to clean the image up significantly.

This is a section taken from an image that was scanned from an old print, and the level of noise is quite extreme. Refiner is able to deal well with the situation, but some manual fine-tuning was needed for a problem of this magnitude!
