Version 7.0

Performance improvements: the first GPU-accelerated version of Neat Image plug-in for Aperture

  • CUDA support: faster noise reduction using modern CUDA-compatible GPUs (on Intel Macs)
    For example, on NVidia GTX 470 Neat Image is about x2.5 faster than on Intel i7 and x3-x7 faster than on Intel i5 or Core2 Duo

  • Multiple GPU support: Neat Image works even faster with two or more CUDA GPUs

  • CPUs and GPUs working together: Neat Image can use CPUs and GPUs at the same time for even faster processing

  • Automated optimization of performance settings for multi-core, multi-CPU and multi-GPU systems
    * Built-in performance optimizer in Neat Image Preferences
    * Built-in benchmark to measure image processing speed on specific hardware

More improvements

  • Smart Profile: automatically uses two different profiling methods and selects the better resulting profile for more accurate noise reduction

  • Redesigned graphics elements throughout the plug-in

  • Improved metadata (EXIF) compatibility with the latest Nikon cameras:
    D7000, D3100, P500, P300, P7000, S8100, etc.

  • New image viewer modes are added
  • Many improvements in GUI

  • Additional performance optimizations
  • Several minor bugs and incompatibilities are fixed

 

Version 6.1

  • Graphical noise profile equalizer is now available in Advanced mode
  • Manual fine-tuning of noise profile is now also available

  • Improved image viewer:
    • Several alternative viewer modes are now available
    • Adjustable viewer brightness to make noise in very dark or very bright areas more visible
    • Preview is automatically prepared and updated, either in the whole visible image area or in manually-selected image area

  • Built-in Calibration Target is now available in plug-in
  • Improved metadata (EXIF) compatibility with the latest Nikon cameras
