Job defaults

Default device noise profile

There are several possible ways to automatically assign a noise profile to a newly created image filtration job:

• Do not load default profile (in plug-in: Load last used profile)
  If this variant is selected then no specific device noise profile is loaded when a new job is created. If a job is created using the command line interface then the profile specified in the command line is used.
  If this variant is selected in plug-in, the profile is loaded that was used in plug-in the last time.
  
  
• Auto profile image
  If this variant is selected then a new profile is built by analyzing the input image;
  
  
• Auto match profile
  If this variant is selected then the most matching profile is selected by Profile Matcher;
  
  
• Use specified default profile
  If this variant is selected and a valid profile is specified then it is automatically loaded when a new job is created. If a job is created using the command line interface then the profile specified in the command line is not used and the specified default profile is used.
  If this variant is selected in plug-in, then the specified profile is loaded into plug-in to process current image.

Auto fine-tune profile
If this option is checked then Neat Image additionally fine-tunes assigned noise profile by analyzing the input image.

 

Default filter preset

There are several possible ways to automatically assign a filter preset to a newly created image filtration job:

• Do not load default preset (in plug-in: Load last used preset)
  If this variant is selected then no specific preset is loaded when a new job is created. If a job is created using the command line interface then the preset specified in the command line is used.
  If this variant is selected in plug-in, the preset is loaded that was used in plug-in the last time.
  
  
• Use specified default profile
  If this variant is selected and a valid preset is specified then it is automatically loaded when a new job is created. If a job is created using the command line interface then the preset specified in the command line is not used and the specified default preset is used.
  If this variant is selected in plug-in, then the specified preset is loaded into plug-in to process current image.

 

Default color space

This is the working color space selected by default when a new image filtration job is created (if there is no default profile selected; see Default device noise profile below). You can always change working color space later on, if necessary; this option just provides a default choice.

The working color space is a color space used by Neat Image to analyze and process images. There are three working color spaces available: RGB, YCrCb JPEG, and YCrCb Symmetric. We recommend the use of YCrCb JPEG for color images and YCrCb Symmetric for grayscale (halftone) images.

Note: The working color space does not affect or change any color profiles (ICC profiles) embedded in the image file.

 

Default output bitdepth

This option controls default image bitdepth of the images processed by the filter. For example, if the input image is 8/24 bits and the output bitdepth is selected to be 16/48 bits, then the input image will be converted to 16/48 bits, processed with the filter, and the output image will be 16/48 bits. If 'match input' is selected then the output bitdepth will match the input bitdepth.

 

Filtered file name suffix

Select the suffix added to the output image file name by default. Note that the suffix can be empty only if the Allow overwriting existing image files option is checked in General Options.

 

Auto save output image

Check this box to have the Auto save output image option selected by default in the Filtration Job Editor.

 

Auto delete completed job

Check this box to have the Auto delete completed job option selected by default in the Filtration Job Editor.
