Definition

Noise appears as random speckles or grain, especially in low-light photos or high ISO settings. Noise reduction tools smooth these artifacts.

Types

Luminance noise affects brightness values, while color noise appears as random colored pixels.

Tradeoffs

Excessive noise reduction can soften details, so adjustments must balance smoothness with sharpness.

Workflow Role

Noise reduction is typically applied during post-processing to refine image quality.
