Manual method, click on the Add Measurement Rectangle
button and then click and drag on an area within the image. You

measurement rectangle on. Some examples of areas to look for are:

You can add multiple rectangles, with the more rectangles that are
added, the more refined the noise reduction being applied. You only

That is, applying two rectangles on objects with similar brightness
and color values will not yield superior results.

Load
Instead of creating a profile with either the
Manual or Automatic
modes, you can load a profile that was previously created. By
loading a profile that was previously created, you can skip the step
of measuring the current image, or you can apply optimal noise
reduction results on those images that do not lend themselves to
being profiled.

Only load a profile that was created for the same camera and ISO
