The result? Dfine 2.0 is a powerful, yet easy-to-use tool that anyone

can use to perform high quality noise reduction without needing to

understand the complex underlying theory.

Because Dfine 2.0 is a plug-in for Adobe Photoshop and other

compatible applications, you must have Photoshop or a compatible

application installed on your computer.

Introduction

New Feature Highlights

• New interface

Welcome to Dfine 2.0, the most powerful tool for reducing noise in

your digital photographic images.

All digital cameras inherently create unwanted imperfections known

as “noise.” The amount of noise in an image typically depends on

the quality and type of imaging sensor with which it was created.

High ISO speeds and low light can also add noise.

New Dfine 2.0 gives you unprecedented control over exactly how

much and where to apply noise reduction. This makes it ultra-easy

to eliminate noise in your images while maintaining detail and

sharpness, thus improving the quality of every digital photo you

take. Dfine 2.0 is designed to prevent the loss of detail other noise

reduction tools often introduce.

Dfine 2.0 introduces a brand new, re-sizable user interface that

includes Nik Software’s award-winning U Point ® technology for the

ultimate in selective control. Busy photographers will appreciate

the workflow improvements offered by the new interface, as well

as improvements such as automatic camera profiles and batch

processing.

• Resizable

• New, more professional look and feel

• Greatly improved noise reduction engine

from within the Interface, users do not have to access the filter from

the Selective Tool in order to selectively apply the filter
