Looking for new Noise software

The software I'm using at the minute seems to be a bit hit and miss so has anyone got suggestions on good noise software as I used to use define before but I can't use anymore so I've got to use this other one I had but it seems to be a bit hit and miss

Try NIK https://www.google.com/nikcollection/

Hi Chris,

I used this in the past before moving to Dfine. It's free, at least the last time I used it, up to a certain size (1024px I think). Any bigger and you have to buy it. Not overly expensive and did the job for me.

Cheers guys I used to use the dfine but since the update it doesn't work on my Photoshop unfortunately or is there a tip to get it working again

That's perhaps a stupid question but did you copy the "Google" plugin folder to the "new" photoshop version folder ?

I am not sure you are working on a Mac or PC ...

No I haven't bit of a novice with some of this computer stuff anything technical I normally have to watch a YouTube video LMAO

Are you using Mac or PC ?

PC

Ok.

First, look for a sub-folder named "Google" in the previsous version of your photoshop software.

Let's suppose the older version is the 2017.

It should be somewhere in "c:/program/adobe/adobe photoshop cc2017/plug-ins"

Copy the "Google" sub-foder.

Then look for the new version (2018); this one should be near the other one somewhere in "c:/program/adobe/adobe photoshop cc2018/plug-ins"

Paste the copied sub-folder in this folder.

It should normally work.

IMHO, the best de-noiser is DxO PhotoLab, which specifically integrates the proper characteristics of each sensor and each lens.

I personally use a program called Denise. Its not free but it really does do the job on high iso images for the low iso images below 600 I use define.
