Noiseware Community Edition

Since nearly any mobile device is now equipped with a camera and pictures are used in a large variety of fields of activity, post-processing utilities are commonly used. These can either come in the form of filters and effects to enhance your photos, or to work on the quality itself and overall impression, which is the case with Noiseware Community Edition.

Support for popular image formats

Pictures can come out blurred, or with rough edges, giving an impression of poor quality. Hope is not lost, because specialized filters such as noise reduction can be applied for polishing. This is one of the application's strengths, letting you quickly add finishing touches to pictures.
File support is decent, with options to load some of the most commonly used formats like JPG, BMP, PNG, GIF and TIF. This can be done either through the dedicated file explorer or by simply dragging them over the main window. Sadly, you can only process one image at a time.

Quickly apply preset filters

The overall process can be done in a jiffy by simply choosing one of the presets from a drop-down menu. These automatically apply configurations like landscape, night scene, film grain effect, stronger or full lumia and color noise.
There's also the possibility to take matters into your own hands and manually adjust sliders for the desired effect. Don't expect much variety, because you are limited to noise level adjustment, as well as noise suppression. It would have been useful to see at least basic color management options.
What's more, the active profile automatically changes to custom when adjustments are done, but there's no implemented option to save any presets you create. Zooming is possible to carefully analyze changes, while the original file is displayed as long as you hold down the main mouse button.

In conclusion

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Noiseware Community Edition is a quick and powerful solution to give your photos a finishing touch in situations where every detail counts. The simple design is highly-intuitive, with clever drag and drop implementation and preset profiles that let you process any photo in the blink of an eye.
