.
When [Apply camera settings] is selected, you can pre-set a
noise reduction level that suits the camera settings beforehand
as the default.
When [Set as defaults] is selected, you can pre-set a preferred
default setting for the noise reduction level beforehand. This is
particularly useful for applying noise reduction to all the images
in a folder at once, such as batch noise reduction for images
with high ISO speeds.
However, for images with recipes attached, the noise level
recorded in the recipe will be applied.
O
If [Luminance noise reduction] has been set, resolution may be
reduced along with reduction of noise.
O
If [Chrominance noise reduction] has been set, color bleeding
may occur along with reduction of noise.
