World-Class Noise Reduction with Noise Ninja™

Despite today's larger digital image sensors, image noise is a fact of life for every DSLR photographer and high-end digicam shooter. Over time, camera makers have brought cleaner image processing and better sensors to the market, making ISO 1600 and even ISO 3200 photos possible.

At these higher ISO sensitivities, even the best cameras will product some level of noise. This noise can be exaggerated during image processing, by compensating for incorrect exposures, or by sharpening, or by any color adjustment. But now Bibble allows you to quiet your noisy images early in the processing flow to prevent noise inherent in every image from being amplified.

Take a look at this animation, showing the dramatic quality improvement possible. The photographer wanted to preserve depth-of-field, while using a fast shutter-speed to stop the water's motion from causing blur. The image was captured at f/9.0 at 1/180 sec shutter-speed at ISO 400. This combination resulted in a slightly under-exposed shot, so we've used Bibble 4.6's Exposure Correction tool to brighten the overall scene - but in doing this, the noise in the RAW file would be worsened. The image after exposure compensation is second in the animation. Instead of stopping there, the Noise Ninja tool was enabled, and the settings were adjusted to quiet the noise, while retaining overall sharpness and detail.

Registered Noise Ninja Controls

Bibble Lite and Pro both include Noise Ninja Technology. Bibble Pro users that also own a Noise Ninja license from Picture Code will gain access to additional noise suppression features. These include the ability to generate custom noise profiles, and more detailed control over the noise adjustment parameters. The example above was created without using the Registered Noise Ninja features.
