New in DeNoise AI 3.6.1 (Mar 17, 2022)

  • Fixed missing Raw model in Mac when you update the app

New in DeNoise AI 3.6.0 (Mar 17, 2022)

  • Major features:
  • Updated RAW Model. The new RAW model now allows the RAW model to be used with non-RAW images. We recommend only using this model on RAW images and images that have been converted from RAW with no pre-processing or editing. Please note that some software (i.e. PS, LR) by default apply denoising and sharpening to images on conversion from RAW. This will greatly reduce the effectiveness of the new RAW model, and other models will be better suited for those images.
  • New Save UI. The new save UI makes it easier to save single and batch images. The Output Directory dropdown saves the last 3 directories used (will be empty to begin with). Renaming and changing image formats/setting should be clearer
  • Overwrite Images. You now have the ability to overwrite images, just use the ‘Overwrite Current File’ toggle in the new save dialog. Note that this feature is disabled when working with RAW images and when using the trial version (as we don’t want a watermark to be applied to an original image).
  • Improvements:
  • When setting the file name in the save dialog, you can press up/down to go to the start/end of the file name
  • The auto model and model preference toggle selection is now saved on close
  • Performance improvements during image saving
  • Added support for certain Sony camera images that weren’t opening before
  • Fixes:
  • Fixed an issue where CR2/3 images would open with a green tint when saved as DNG’s
  • Fixed an issue where opening certain DNG’s would crash DeNoise
  • Fixed an issue where the same image could be opened twice
  • Fixed an issue where having multiple images open with auto model preferences on showed the same model numbers for all files in the file list view.
  • Fixed various crashes and grammatical errors
