Used it a few times and it worked brilliantly, but now it won't work at all. I load an image and it just repeatedly calculates denoise.

An excellent way of seeing how well of a job this does it to split the leopard image and see if you can get the same results as the one that has been processed. I've tried duplicating the Leopard before and after images. The resulting image is improved but nowhere near the degree as the sample shows. Try this experiment to see if anyone can come up with the same settings used to get the really clean version of the leopard. I'd like to know what they used to achieve the clean version.

Several people noted registration difficulties earlier in the day. I have numerous Franzis programs from previous GotD offerings and using the same e-mail address / Franzis User ID (customer number) the install & registration was fast & easy.

I do not have any of the Adobe programs which could use it as a plugin, so just tested it in stand-alone mode. The interface is very similar to their HDR Projects 4. I tested it on a scanned 35mm film photo taken on a cheap point-&-shoot in 1983. It was an outdoor shot taken after sunset so was very dark and grainy. The scan, unsurprisingly, has a lot of noise in it, mostly visible when you're zoomed in. When I opened the image with DENOISE projects, it automatically started working on it, figuring out for itself what it thought was the best option for noise reduction. While it didn't make the photo look good, a look at it zoomed in showed that almost all the noise (thousands of tiny off-white pixels) was gone, with only the barest amount of detail softened. (To be fair, the original is so poor and muddy, there's really not much that can be done. The old GIGO issue.)

So my experience is that it was easy to install, easy to use, and did exactly what it said it would do. If you're thinking of trying it, I would say it is definitely worth the time & submitting an an e-mail address. Thank you again GotD team and Franzis!

I registered but somehow I must have closed something with the serial number on it .
Where can I find it.

Thank you

Just installed with Windows 10/x64. Have Lightroom 5.7.1, and PS (older version) and it's saying it still needs a serial number. Don't understand why it won't install completely.

Mac version is very old and won't install on recent versions of MacOS

Note: I did do a screenshot of one of your examples to try to duplicate your shown results after de-noising, and could not even get close to the great results your program did. I used my Corel PSP 2020 32bit version. I tried the many De-noise options to test the difference.
I downloaded this. Took a pretty long time to download the 112 MB's. I am on cable so normally on my side I get that much quickly. After downloading I liked that you have a lot of plugin 64 or 86 bit options to use in programs. I use Corel PSP 32 bit plugins (yes they have a 64 bit version as well, but most of my wanted plugins are for 32 bits). So I deleted this before proceeding further. So, not for me and what I am comfortable using but I"d say it is a cool program for others to use.

While installing it says that a supported version of Lightroom, Photoshop, or Elements could not be found on this computer. I'm a subscriber to Adobe Creative Cloud and both Lightroom and Photoshop are installed.

If you don't have Denoise projects yet, assuming you edit images, this is probably worth getting.

I bought Denoise projects Pro 2 -- I'm still undecided about their new Pro 3 -- and use it quite a bit via P/Shop. Using it that way is a little bit slow, waiting for the app to open and analyze the photo, but keep the results on a layer I can modify or discard. While it works [or obviously I wouldn't use it], at default settings the results are not nearly as dramatic as the images on their product pages suggest. While I can amp up the settings, doing so usually has side effects elsewhere.

To describe the results I get, I need to start with the basics... Camera sensors, & the pattern [grain] of chemicals deposited on film negatives & prints, vary in sharpness. As you zoom in on a photo in an image editor, the less sharp the image the more you can see blobs of colored pixels. With some cameras the colors of those blobs is far from uniform, achieving colors by blending rather than showing the true colors more naturally -- same as how a printer works to print green by blending blue and yellow. At any rate, using Denoise projects doesn't eliminate those blobs -- doing so would make the photo even less sharp -- but it does consolidate them, making the tiniest blobs & stray pixels match their larger neighbors.

It does help the overall appearance of many photos -- it helps most all of our old prints I'm scanning -- but Franzis' advertising exaggerates to put it politely. You are not going to get the same results as a mid to high range Canon or Nikon or Sony camera unless you use one of those Canon or Nikon or Sony cameras. You can't unblend pixels any more than you can unblend a drink. ;)

BTW - I am using Catalina OS!

I can't install the mac version??
Error: The application “Setup_Mac.app” can’t be opened.
No way to fix installer??
Please Help!

Do you have tutorials for all of your programs? Where do I find them if so...I only saw 3 for 'cut out projects'.

Thank You, Franzis...would love to have one of your Sharp Projects on this site someday. Thank you again!!!

Franzis has phenomenal programs! I'm glad to have another one! Thank you, Franzis and Giveaway!!❤❤❤

I emailed them about not being able to register the photoshop plugin and just got an automated answer. I was really wanting this to work, but since I can't get the plugin to register I will uninstall the program. :(

I downloaded & installed the program.
Standalone program registered fine.
Photoshop plugin gives me an error that it cannot connect to the internet to register.

Thank you so much. I love it and it came at the right time for my images I am working on. I wish I could load an image here to show. Thank you again

I've been using Neat Image for years. It's a is a Denoise program that is free for personal use. It does a great job. I highly recommend it.

Installed per instructions. Install said I didn't have a compatible copy of LR or PS, which I do--I have an active install and account of LR Classic, LR CC, and the last two versions of PS CC on my computer.

So what is not compatible?

In addition, I ran it standalone, and on my 30" 4k monitor, the menu font is approximately 4pt. Just slightly above what I would need a magnifying glass to see.

The installer package said I did not have Lightroom installed but that I could install the plugins later. I have Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6.14.0.10 installed. Please advise how to install the plugins. Thank you for this giveaway! Franzis' products are always very good.

Program downloaded, installed properly and registration was fine. It says I didn't have a copy of Adobe Elements installed. But I do, Elements 2020, the newest version. Does DENOISE not recognize this version of Elements?

The registration procedure doesn't work. There is no blue button "Request registration code". And the only thing that works is the "forgot password" option. I have had top click that to receive an email with the link to create a new password (although I did not have a previous account!) Then, with that password, I have been able to log in and request a registration code. I have received immediately a new email with the codes. Fine. But when I try to use it, I see a "Wrong registration code!" dialog. So, for me, it is impossible to register the program. Pity, as it looks interesting.

Is this version V1.17.02351?

After installing the program, I tried to load an image (jpg) but the program does not recognise it. It produces the following message:
"DSC_0001.JPG: File could not be loaded. An error has occurred."
Any help?

Good noise reduction! a keeper.

2 points:
1. installation stops searching for photoshop after finding first version. People keep CS6 AND current.
2. can't handle filenames with foreign characters (fails to open).

Downloaded and installed with no problems. Registration isn't as straight forward as many, but ok. Signed up for the newsletters which I will later unsubscribe. The email with the codes came quickly and I just copied and pasted the codes where indicated on the registration form.

This is a later version than my previous DOTD, but I didn't detect changes while casually clicking around. It still doesn't support drag and drop which ought to be part of any graphic program.

I didn't work with the image I tested - accepted Denoise suggestion. I know that there are a great many ways of cleaning an image in the program, but I was just lazy. In the past when an image is beyond my usual noise cleaner I've found an acceptable method in Denoise. In other words, I'm an occasional user.

I loaded a picture of the Virginia mountains with a bridge in the foreground. The suggested cleaning resulted in an image that looked like a Thomas Hart Benton painting. The sharp leaves were softened into smooth patches of greens and the rolling mountains looked like they were covered in green cotton balls. The steel of the bridge became smooth and the rust became spreading pools reminiscent of a watercolor painting.

Now, I know that I could have gotten a much more acceptable image by using the copious adjustments that Denoise offers. But I accepted what the program suggested for the sake of this comment. The resulting photo actually is my current desktop wallpaper. It serves that purpose very well, but the image would not be acceptable for a document illustrating the summer foliage on the Appalachians near Walton's mountain.

Dear Franzis team, thank you for the software. After completing the registration steps the instalation went smoothly. Program starts without any problems however none of my images can be downloaded I keep on receiving the message : Loading
Loading image: IMG_20190408_101242.jpg
IMG_20190408_101242.jpg: Preparing image

An error has occurred.
Verified many times and each time the same problem.
Could you help please?
Thank you.

Is the licence lifetime?

Is this for a trial period or free "Forever" without any restrictions?

I have the paid version of Franzis Denoise projects 2 and many other of their programs. They all work great, but a little pricey. I recommend this program to at least try it, while it's FREE. Thank you GAOTD.
