In the Neat Image plug-in, you can build a device noise profile, use noise filter to reduce noise and sharpen image in the same way as in Neat Image standalone.

The plug-in is very similar to the standalone application so switching between using the two is straightforward. Using the plug-in may be easier for Photoshop users because there is no need to save the working image into intermediate files. Moreover, Photoshop selection mechanisms are directly supported by the Neat Image plug-in and you can directly apply noise reduction to selected layer, channel or selection in your working image.

This is the Filtration Queue window of the standalone Neat Image

- this window is used to process queued / batched images (filtration jobs)

- the Filtration Queue contains one or more image filtration jobs

- you can create filtration jobs one by one or in batch

- information panel on the right displays related job data

- you can start and stop the filtration process, assign noise profiles and filter presets to individual jobs or groups of jobs, sort the jobs according to different criteria, save the filtered images
