Noise Reduction Process
With a new interface and state-of-the-art noise reduction engine,
Dfine 2.0 also needed some additional tools to ensure it provided as
much precision and control as professional photographers need.
Dfine 2.0 also needed some additional tools to ensure it provided as
much precision and control as professional photographers need.
To support this, Dfine 2.0 incorporates two different methods of
applying noise reduction to the image. The first, Control Points,
enables you to apply noise reduction globally to your image and
selectively with U Point powered Control Points. The Control Points
are based on Nik Software’s patented U Point image enhancement
technology. U Point is a technology that has been created and
designed to allow photographers to work directly on their images
to achieve exactly what they envision in an easy, fast and intuitive
manner. By incorporating U Point technology into Dfine 2.0, you
can take advantage of this exciting and powerful new technology to
quickly, easily, and selectively reduce noise on your images without
the use of complicated selections or masks.

The second, Color Ranges, takes the functionality previously found
within the camera profiles of Dfine 1.0 and improves upon them.
Now, the Color Ranges tool enables you to select the number of color
ranges that you want to select to control noise reduction against,
with a minimum of two and no maximum on the number of color
ranges selected for each image.

Selective Tool Interaction
The final major area of improvement within Dfine 2.0 is in the
interaction with the Selective Tool. Previously, the Selective Tool was
used to determine when to apply Dfine’s noise reduction selectively
to an image. As photographers used Dfine more and more, the
Selective Tool often also became the preferred way of accessing the
filter, without needing to navigate through the many different filters
found in the Filters menu.

Selective Tool often also became the preferred way of accessing the

found in the Filters menu.
Additionally, from time to time, photographers indicated that after
selecting Dfine from the Filters menu, they may then have decided
to selectively apply the filter. Achieving this in Dfine 1.0 meant they
needed to cancel out of the interface, launch the Selective Tool, and
then begin the noise reduction process anew.

In Dfine 2.0, the choice of selectively applying the filter is done
within the Filter Interface, enabling you to use the method you prefer
of launching the Dfine 2.0 interface (either from within the Selective
Tool or from the Filters menu) without forcing you to decide to apply
the filter selectively or not.
