Please use your v7 license to log on to the corresponding download area: New noise profiles in the libraryMany new profile sets have been created and submitted to the profile
library by generous users of Neat Image. We are very grateful to all the contributors who build new profiles
for the community of Neat Image users. Please also participate in building
new profiles for digital cameras and scanners. Using the Batch Profiler
in Neat Image, you can easily build a profile set for your camera. Please
see the user guide (specifically, the "Device
noise profiles" section) for additional information.

Nov 14, 2012 Neat Image 7.3 adds GPU acceleration on AMD/ATI cardsNeat Image 7.3 update introduces direct support for
GPU-based acceleration on AMD/ATI video cards via OpenCL.
Earlier in version 7.0, Neat Image added CUDA-based acceleration for
NVidia GPUs.
Starting with the 7.3 update, Neat Image can also use some computation-capable
AMD/ATI cards through the OpenCL interface.
The updated Neat Image 7.3 standalone includes:
- Added support for AMD/ATI GPUs (GPU acceleration is now possible
with both NVidia and AMD/ATI cards)
The following AMD/ATI GPUs are supported (Mac OSX 10.7.0 or newer
is required):- ATI Radeon HD 5770/5870;
- AMD Radeon HD 6750M/6770M/6970M;
- Some other models of AMD/ATI cards (please directly try the
app or contact support to verify)
Note: Using the latest models of AMD GPUs is recommended for
the best performance.
- Added support for reading and writing images in PNG format
- New option to preserve original file timestamp in output image
file
- New Navigator panel to quickly locate image areas using a thumbnail
display
- Improved support for OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion)
- More accurate GPU speed measurements (in Optimize and Benchmark)
- Several minor issues and bugs have been fixed

May 5, 2011 Neat Image v7 standalone (Mac OSX)Neat Image team is pleased to introduce the 7th generation of its
noise reduction solution for digital photography that inherits and
refines the highest quality and efficiency traditionally delivered
by Neat Image.
Neat Image is now also available as a standalone application for
Mac OSX. Neat Image was earlier available in Mac OSX as a plug-in
for Photoshop and a plug-in for Aperture, but not as a standalone
application. A standalone version of Neat Image was however available
for Windows. Now, Neat Image standalone is also available for Mac
OSX. It can be used to process images directly, without opening Photoshop
or Aperture.
The changes and improvements of this major version of Neat Image
(as compared with the previous version of Neat Image standalone for
Windows) include the following: - Higher performance: the first GPU-accelerated version
of Neat Image standalone
- CUDA support: faster noise reduction using modern CUDA-compatible
GPUs
For example, on NVidia
GTX 285 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 benchmark to measure image
processing speed on specific hardware
- Built-in performance optimizer in Neat
Image Preferences
- Additional performance optimizations throughout the application:
- Faster batch processing: x1.5 faster than in previous
version (of standalone in Windows)
- Faster individual image processing: x1.2 faster than
in previous version (of standalone in Windows)
- Improved user interface
- Multi-image and single-image modes
- Improved task editor to work on individual images
- Detailed and thumbnail-only list of tasks to work with
many images
- New and improved batching facilities
- Redesigned graphics elements throughout the application
- More intuitive noise profile equalizer with adjustable
graphs
- Improved image viewer with several modes and adjustable
brightness
- Component viewer built directly into image viewer
- Automated preview (full window or selected area)
- More improvements
- Support for 32-bit per channel images (in Pro edition,
in addition to 8-bit and 16-bit ones) to enable HDR post-processing
workflows
- Smart Profile: automatically uses two different profiling
methods and selects the better resulting profile for more
accurate noise reduction
- Improved metadata (EXIF) compatibility with the latest
Nikon cameras:
D7000, D3100, P500, P300, P7000, S8100, etc.
