Summary
Batch Processing: Queue hundreds of images to be processed in the background while you continue working. neat image 40 pro
- Open in RAW format: Do not apply noise reduction in your RAW converter. Turn Lightroom/Capture One's NR to zero. Export a 16-bit TIFF or directly launch Neat Image as a host application.
- Run Auto-Profile: Click the "Measure" button. Wait 3 seconds. Review the profile map (red for noise, green for detail). Version 40 is very accurate, but if you see green on a clear sky, manually adjust the profile area.
- Select "Deep NR" Mode: In the filter settings, choose the new "Deep" mode for ISO 3200+. For ISO 1600 and below, "Light" mode preserves more edge acuity.
- Apply Sharpening: Use the new "Edge Sharpening" slider. Start at 65%. This is more aggressive than old versions because the AI prevents halos.
- Output as 16-bit: Save as a PSD or TIFF. Do your final color grading after noise reduction, as clean footage grades much better than grainy footage.
RAW Linearity (Deep RAW Support)
Most noise reducers work on the rendered JPEG or TIFF after demosaicing. This is too late. Neat Image 40 Pro integrates directly with the RAW pipeline. It reads the linear sensor data before color interpolation. This results in a 40% increase in color accuracy because the software corrects channel-dependent noise (usually blue and red channels are the loudest) before they blend together.
