RAW Denoise
For RAW images, instead of estimating the missing color information for each pixel based on the values of neighboring pixels, the AI model uses context from the entire image. It also considers and compensates for noise that hinders traditional demosaicing methods.
The RAW models are activated when the program detects a file with RAW Bayer sensor data.
RAW Denoise is developed for the aggressive RAW noise that Bayer sensors have, (Canon, Nikon cameras for example) whereas Fujifilm cameras have a X Trans sensor, and will not have this overall aggressive RAW noise. This is why RAW Denoise activates when it detects a Bayer sensor camera. For any noise on these Fujifilm files, it is recommended to use the Denoise enhancement.
Controls
Use the Controls tab to select the AI model and adjust the settings.
Models
RAW Normal
Use the RAW Normal model to treat the vast majority of RAW images since most cameras have built-in noise reduction.
RAW Strong
This model is reserved for severe noise due to very high ISO (above 6400 ISO). Use it to recover details in images shot in low light.
Preferences
Open the Photo AI Main Menu > Preferences > RAW denoise
- Default AI Model - select from the dropdown menu to choose between AUTO, RAW Normal, or RAW Strong as your go-to setting
- Model strength - adjust the model strength slider to a default setting
- Enable hot pixel correction - use this toggle to correct hot pixel issues. A hot pixel is a pixel that doesn't react to light or reacts in an unusual way, appearing as a bright dot in an image. Hot pixels can be caused by sensor age, contamination during sensor production, long exposure times, high gain settings, high sensor operating temperature, or manufacturing defects.
