Hi there, I'm Barry Callister of Barry
Callister Photography and Photographer's
Freedom,
giving you the time, gear, and skills to
be the best photographer you can be.
Welcome to my channel. Thank you for
watching this video today.
Now Topaz DeNoise....I got an email this
morning from Topaz, so I had to just
quickly rush and do this video and tell
you about it,
because at the moment their DeNoise
software, Topaz DeNoise
AI is on sale and it's for a limited
time only it's only, until the 9th of
october.
Seriously guys, this software is
absolutely
amazing, you're gonna love it. So let's
jump over to the computer and I'll do a
quick demo of it for you
and then you can rush to the links that
are in the video description and buy
your own
copy of Topaz DeNoise AI, on sale now, so
let's get to the computer. Alright so
I'm going to start here in Lightroom, and
I've got this image
open here of a little Eastern Yellow
Robin that I took
in low light conditions and i had to use,
as you can see,
an ISO of 1600, so this image is pretty
noisy. There's a lot of grain there,
so it's everywhere, and
Topaz DeNoise AI can take care of that,
no worries.
Now you can see here in my detail
section here, I've done no
luminance reduction here, no noise
reduction here in Lightroom whatsoever.
So I'm going to right click on that and
Edit in Photoshop,
and we'll scoot across to Photoshop. I
will duplicate the background layer by
dragging it down. Now...
and then because I've already installed
my
DeNoise AI plug-in, you go up here to
Filter,
and uh you can just click...that's the one
I've done earlier, so I'll leave that.
I'll come down here to Topaz Labs, and we
go
to DeNoise AI and that will open it up,
and it will
do the noise reduction automatically. So
it will have already done it
like that, as you can see and that is an
amazing difference?!
Now you've got a lot of sliders and
stuff here. Now I haven't had a lot of
time to go through it, I only just
downloaded my copy literally this
morning.
I did use the trial version; this is the
best thing about Topaz
uh software is that you get a 30-day
free trial, so you can trial the thing
for 30 days, if you don't like it
you don't have to purchase, so it's
really great. So
you've got all of this stuff here, and
you can use the Auto
button if you like, and that will do..that
will let the AI do its job
and I mean that does a pretty good job.
It's sort of,
you can see how it's leaving the bird
alone a bit and it's keeping a bit of
the detail in the feathers here and
these finer feathers and stuff, and it's
removing the
noise from the background. So it's pretty
intuitive and it's really great, but
I like to play with sliders, so i'm going
to turn that off.
I'm going to turn this down a bit and uh
we'll turn this
up a bit...you can see how it adjusts the
preview according to what you
are doing. So we'll turn that up to about
11...
and that is really good. And of course,
down here you've got your Recover Detail
and a Color Noise Reduction, so if you
have a lot of color noise you can
bump that up. And you can choose to
recover a bit more detail if you want.
That seems to be doing a great job here,
but of course that brings back noise so
you've got to be careful with doing that.
But that is really good. And one amazing
feature of it is this Masking
thing up here. So if I just uh...I'll just
reduce my
view here to a little bit smaller so i
can see the whole image.
It does run fairly slowly, it takes up a
lot
of uh computer brain power so
it uses a lot of your cpu to do this so
you've got to be patient. Now...
so if i use the masking here, what i can
do
is, I can choose to tell it to remove the
noise only from the background and leave
the bird alone,
which is something that I'll do normally
with masking in Photoshop,
so this could save me a bit of time
doing it all in the one program.
So you've got to remember that the
masking
does...where you paint with the brush here,
that will remove noise from that section.
And down here you've got all your
controls; you've got a radius to make it
a bit bigger brush, you've got your
softness, that's
um.....that is your um.......
feathering?! The word would not come to me?!
And then you've got opacity,
so that changes the amount of the noise
reduction. And you can choose to add
or subtract, so I could just go, in this
case, I could go Subtract
and just do it across the bird here if i
wanted to.
So that's what I'll do, I'll just paint
around the bird here and we'll watch the
magic!
And you can also choose it um...you can
see you've got Edge Aware down there.
There's an edge,
which i just went way outside of the
edges?! You've got an edge aware
button down here so you can choose to do
that. Like that's really rough
but um, you know, if i turn the masking
off
you will see that it has removed the
noise from everywhere except for around
the bird.
And we'll go back to 100% and you can see
there it's left the bird alone,
and it's just removed the nose from the
background. So if...I'll just click apply
down there and that
will apply that and export it back to
Photoshop,
and we'll have a look at the before and
after. And you will be amazed?!
You shall be amazed?! I think you will.
Now....it's still doing it's business, thinking
about it....here we are!
So of course the mask was terrible right,
I didn't do a very good job of the
masking in Topaz
DeNoise AI, but I'll just zoom in here, so
we're zooming in to about 60%
there, and if i turn off the denoise
layer; you can see
there's all that noise in the background.
Turn it on....
noise gone! It's a really amazing plug-in
guys, it really is.
It's on sale at the moment, so I'll take
you across to um....
Topaz's website here. So here we are at

over this side here, here's Topaz DeNoise
