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.


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.

image

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.

  1. Default AI Model - select from the dropdown menu to choose between AUTO, RAW Normal, or RAW Strong as your go-to setting
  2. Model strength - adjust the model strength slider to a default setting
  3. 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.
