| DeepSpace Filter | ||
| Filter Name | Despeckle | |
| Compatibility | Adobe Photoshop 5.0 and later. | |
| Required RGB working-space |
Any linear RGB working space. |
|
| Description | Noise reduction by blurring daptively according to standard deviation of the current kernel area. | |
| Installation | Download and copy all files from the zip archive into the /photoshop/plug-ins directory. | |
| Setup |
Open a higher bit-depth image (or convert a 8-bit/channel image to the 15-bit mode, then enter to the filter dialog and press Alt+g to open the Define screen settings -dialog. Enter the system gamma space that is the gamma value from the Adobe Gamma utility (or from other system calibration utility) not the gamma value from the RGB setup. This one-time-only step is needed in order to have the image in the preview box in the 16-bit/c mode to appear somewhat correctly (the preview-box when the image is in 16-bit/c mode is not color-managed due to the bug in Photoshop). |

Quality:
Normal (about the same as the Despeckle in Photoshop). |
|
| Notes: | Not horribly fast, but does it even in the 16-bit/c mode. | |
