Effect applies to whole photo, loss of detail
This app deals very well with skin and low-light areas, but applies the effect to the whole photo whether you want that or not, resulting in loss of detail. Their patented process (which again works very well) apparently includes blurring, which is a commonly used noise-reduction technique in other photo-editing apps. The problem is that there’s no way to select specific areas for processing. I used this to noise-reduce several low-light garden shots. At first glance, impressive, but the effect blurred details in the garden plants. Leaves, twigs, flowers and grass lost their sharp edges. This happens to varying degrees no matter which level of de-noising you choose. The app does a better job of de-noising than even my high-end photo-editing apps, but again, without being able to select, I pretty much can’t use it. One way to fix this without adding a selection tool would be to add a de-noising brush that can be used to process parts of a photo while leaving other parts un-touched. If such a tool were available, I’d use this app more often.
