New generation of wavelet noise reduction and color matching software for digital images.

Let's face it: Most of the current image processing algorithms were designed thirty years ago when not many people could imagine digital cameras. Even JPG standard was not yet created.

Many of these old algorithms don't work very well with digital cameras.

PureImage combines the most recent research of image processing and includes:

Wavelet Noise Reduction
This is the core of PureImage. Unlike all conventional methods of Noise reduction, our wavelet NR produce much higher quality of noise reduction while retaining image sharpness and details.

The test image below was taken with EOS 10D using extreme 3600 ISO.
The red rectangle with arrow marks the detail

A high ISO noise will not disappear from photo even if we resize the image down making the 3600 ISO unusable without NR.

The above detail has been resized down to only 30% from the full size. This is approximately how it will appear on a printed photo. The original (left) still shows high amount of noise making the image very grainy.
On the right is our NR processed image in High Noise Mode.

Unlike some frequency domain profile based NR, PureImage will automatically auto-tune the noise function to different noise type across the image, making the interface much simpler and universal for all digital or film cameras.

The image above shows the self-adaptive feature of our Noise Reduction on few complicated parts of the image. (The middle image shown is after NR):
1. Metallic and shiny objects
2. Smooth transitions
3. Flat black surface
4. Out-of-focus transitions
5. Sharp transitions
6. Complex grain

There are few Advanced Processing presets for better tuning the NR algorithm

	Default Mode Performs well on most digital camera images. You can fine-tune the NR level and edge sharpness.
	Nature Mode Retain fine details in outdoor images with lots of trees, flowers and grass
	Portrait Mode Keep natural facial texture on close-up portrait photography to avoid a "face-lift" look of the model.
	High Noise Mode Works on very high level of noise produced by high ISO settings. Even some of the most extreme cases could be restored.
	Scanner Mode Remove Moire pattern from high resolution scans using special descreen filter.

PureImage doesn't stop just with the Noise Reduction. Color Matching and Correction is another half of the story.

Works in MS VISTA
