Noise Buster
Reviewed by Geetesh Bajaj, March 24th 2006

Introduction
NoiseBuster is a Photoshop plug-in from Akvis that
reduces luminance and color noise from digital images without influencing
other aspects of the photo - thus providing a much neater
look to the image.
NoiseBuster is from AKVIS, a company based in Russia that
specializes in graphics programs and scientific research. Apart
from NoiseBuster, AKVIS also creates other Photoshop compatible
programs like Retoucher, Chameleon, Stamp and Enhancer.
You can learn more
about Akvis and Noise Buster at their site - and also download
a 10 day trial version of the plug-in.

How To Use
Once you have installed the plug-in, here's how you can use
Noise Buster to remove noise from an image:
- Open any image in an image editor such as Adobe Photoshop.
- In Photoshop, choose Filter | Akvis | Noise Buster - this
will open the Noise Buster interface that you can see in Figure
1.

Figure 1: The AKVIS NoiseBuster interface
- The Noise Buster interface is divided into two areas:
The
left area shows a large preview of the image - the selection
area within this preview shows the applied effect.
The right area
has a Navigator to adjust views. In addition, the Automatic
Filtering option allows you to preview the filtration on the
left side of the interface.
At the bottom right, there are several parameters
to reduce noise and smoothen the image like luminance, noise,
and color noise.
- To apply filitration within the plug-in press the Apply button.

(or another photo editor), click the OK button.
