Noise Shampoo

Noise Shampoo is a smoothing, edge-preserving filter for simplifying or reducing noise on images.Image noise can be seen as random variations in images.For example, one part of the image is brighter than the other, or there’s some color information that seems wrong.It’s usually electronic noise but can also be seen in film grain.

Before you get used to the Noise Shampoo settings, and possibly all the time, a good practice is to import an image and make a copy of it so you can see the differences once the filter is applied.
