Nik Software Dfine 2.107 plugins for Adobe Photoshop,Adobe Lightroom and Elements

17/11/2010 Nik Software, the company has released Dfine 2.107 - updated version of its popular plug-in to the programs Adobe Photoshop and Elements. The updated product will allow you to get rid of noise and color collection of digital photos. Initially, virtually all digital cameras have the disadvantage and create unwanted noise. The amount and types of noise in the image, usually depend on the quality and type of camera's image sensor.

Each camera has its own photo editing features, so the noise on images obtained using different cameras will vary. That's why Dfine has a system of connected profiles for each type of camera. These profiles help to more accurately process images obtained with the help of a camera, so as take into account the characteristics of each model. Even if you do not use the camera profiles, Dfine copes with the removal of noise in images.
The new version (2.x) plug-in differs completely changed interface, as well as the presence of patented U Point, which allows operation with the image selectively. We photographers have the opportunity to indicate the fragments, where the filter will be most noticeable, and users can individually control the decrease of color and luminance noise.
You can also reduce the noise, based on a range of colors, and using a brush, mark the area on the image you want to improve. Dfine supports graphics tablets.
Dfine also supports graphics tablets.
The secret of the filter is that it helps identify the source of artifacts and on the basis of this information offers solutions to problems.
Features:
● Color Ranges: reduces noise within individual color ranges. This method works best when applying selective noise suppression. Selectively apply noise suppression allows us to obtain images with better detail and sharpness. You can save the used profiles. In addition, Dfine 2.0 offers three different methods of noise suppression.
● Checkpoints: Use technology to "U Point" for automatic selection of objects based on their unique characteristics.

What is Noise?
Virtually, all digital cameras inherently create unwanted imperfections known as noise. The amount or type of noise in an image typically depends on the quality and type of imaging sensor with which it was created.
Contrast (Luminance) Noise and Color (Chrominance) Noise can be individually present in an image or might be seen in the same image. Fast or high ISO speeds and low light levels can add noise to images, while some images might exhibit high levels of JPEG artifacts.
