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, Adobe

Photoshop Lightroom, Apple Aperture and other compatible

applications, you must have Photoshop or a compatible application

installed on your computer.

New Feature Highlights

Introduction

New interface

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

your digital photographic images.

• Navigator Loupe

• Resizable

• New, more professional look and feel

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.

Greatly improved noise reduction engine

• Higher quality noise reduction

• Better retention of fine details

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.

Proile creation

• Profiles can be created automatically or manually

• Profiles can be shared

• Improved batch processing. Interface can be set to auto-profile or

auto-load profiles based on image EXIF data (needs a profile to be

created first for each camera/ISO combination)

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.

• Improved Selective Tool interaction. Selective Tool can be called

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

from the Selective Tool in order to selectively apply the filter

Dine ® 2.0 User Guide

Dfine 2.0 contains a considerable amount of enhancements and

improvements from Dfine 1.0. The majority of the improvements can

be summed up in 4 categories:

Noise Reduction Engine

Dfine 2.0 contains a completely reworked noise reduction engine.

The goal when creating this new noise reduction engine was to

empower photographers with an incredibly powerful and precise

tool to reduce unwanted artifacts within photographs with the ability

to maintain high levels of detail, all without requiring a complicated

process or learning curve.

Interface

One of the most obvious new features of Dfine 2.0 is the completely

reworked interface. The interface represents the culmination of

extensive study of the look and feel that professional photographers

expect in a modern application along with requests from Nik

Software users.

Dfine 2.0

Noise Reduction

Engine

The new interface was designed to look and act as a professional

photographic tool, with a color-neutral interface, medium-gray

background, and a strong focus on an efficient workflow.

Dfine 2.0 incorporates an advanced, unique wavelet algorithm,

specially designed for use on photographic details. To support the

noise reduction algorithms and to ensure as simple and straight-

forward a workflow as possible, an automatic profiling system was

also developed.

Dfine 2.0 is completely resizable and groups important controls next

to one another, leading to less mouse clicks and therefore greater

efficiency and less time needed to achieve excellent quality noise

reduction results.

Please see Chapter 5: Dfine 2.0 Interface for more information on

the various tools and features found within the Dfine 2.0 interface.

The automatic profiling system was designed to make noise

reduction as easy as possible while working on the broadest range

of images as possible. A lot of care and attention was taken with

the automatic profiling system so that it would provide an optimal

profiling result for the majority of images, with no input required.
