Neat image pro upgrade#

I believe we have that in common.ĮDIT: I'll be in touch sometime soon re Affinity Photo.

They also advised to download the demo version just to make sure the plugin will work in PS-CS6, my preferred version.

Neat image pro upgrade#

I am planning to upgrade the GPU soon so that should mitigate the speed 'issue' I believe. It did mention that the app wouldn't use the somewhat ancient GPU in my MacPro 2012, but it would work with the CPU quite well, albeit perhaps a bit slow. I received a very inclusive reply that boiled down to their opinion that it should work very well. I sent an inquiry to their 'Support' department with all of the information they would need to let me know if the app would work properly on my setup. In my exploration of their site I read a bit about creating ISO Profiles, so that is something I'll do once I have the app installed and running as expected. It does have a huge number of adjustments you can use to set up depending on the results you want.Īnd of course the size of your images does make a difference in processing times. I actually use it inside a VM with 6 cores set and it runs quite fast there but years ago on a slower machine I would simply set it running overnight. It can also use all the CPU cores you have on your machine if you let it - there is a provision in the options menu to set the number of cores used.

The one good thing about Neat Image is the capability to batch process hundreds of images in one go. I can usually get a quality rating for my profiles of 98 upwards which gives the best results. The main thing you must do with it is prepare correct profiles for every ISO on the cameras you are using. I use the standalone version and there is no need to upgrade your GPU. I've used this software for many years and, until JPEG to RAW came along was my #1 choice for NR.īut now, since Topaz seem to have totally destroyed that program, Neat Image will be used again.
