DxO Optics Pro v5

Let's talk about the most important problem — digital noise. Such noise can ruin any beautiful picture. The root of the noise based in camera's sensitivity. During the process the sensors heat up and that is the source of the noise. The technical principle of function is the change of light into an electrical signal. It is why level of noise is higher during the long time-exposure. Most models of compact camera there is noise even with sensitivity 200 ISO or higher. Therefore there is no point of setting the sensitivity to 800 ISO because the level of noise will be too high. The bigger the dimensions of the pixels, the bigger the surface, absorbing the light, and the less noise on your picture.

Visually, the digital noise looks like grain in the analog photos and the behavior is the same: the more sensitivity of element (matrix or film) the more noise. Optically it is like grains, spots or fuzzy boundary.

There are two types of noise: luminance noise and chromatic noise. Usually, the pictures with a lot of noise look unnatural and low in quality. The term digital noise is often mixed up with the term grain. The grain is used for analog photos.

Today we can eliminate the noise by using different software. The latest, the fifth version of DxO Optics Pro v5 is a photo editing program that has been successfully used for working with various types of photographs. The program contains the new principle of noise cutting, which works in the initial phase of conversion and keeps most of the details.

DxO Optics Pro v5 has a very simple and easy to use layout; all instruments are gathered in the panel on the left side of the window and are distributed in nine closed panels, four of them contain the adjustments of parameters, such as Light, Color, Geometry, Details. In this last version you can work easily — just press and receive the result. The process of image correction is almost automatic.

The only drawback in the program, DxO Optics Pro v5, is when increasing the detailing, the noise increases, even with low ISO during the operation. In comparison to other similar programs, DxO Optics Pro v5, operates at a much faster rate.

There are other programs that can reduce the noise in your picture in a similar manner: AKVIS Noise Buster, Neat Image Pro, Noise Ninja, Noiseware Pro. But in my opinion, if you really want to edit your picture to a professional and extraordinary extent, DxO Optics Pro v5 is the best program to use.

Even though DxO Optics Pro v5 is a very easy program to remove noise, in order to spend less time editing your photographs I would like to recommend improving your photo taking skills by following a few simple rules. For example, shoot with low value of ISO that will decrease the matrix sensitivity. As you know, the more ISO the more probability of noise. In case of lack of lighting, I recommend to use a tripod or any other base and to set low parameter of ISO as possible.

But even when following the points above, the quality of your picture is not the best, use DxO Optics Pro v5, the best photo editing software, to enhance and to improve your picture to a professional level.
