noiseware community issue

[jann1033]

this is a new one for me but wonder if anyone else has had it happen. i was processing some photos ( taken at dawn ) and when i opened them in noiseware (freebie program) the color was much less saturated than the original edited file. at first i thought it changed after processing but just now i opened the original again to re do it and it opens up less saturated( on my computer screen the one pre filtered is noticeably more saturated in the folder compared to the filtered one but then i open the original edited not noise filtered file up it reduces the saturation automatically and looks like the filtered one) never noticed it doing this before, all color profiles are the same as they always were. this happened only to the last 2 i was running through noiseware, the rest look the same color after processing as they do in the original edited file. all are photos at dawn so the colors are pretty muted and end up in the processed files basically grey. i used landscape noise ware setting to process them all...so any ideas or anyone had this happen to them with noiseware?
original pre noise removed file jpg

vs filtered file, but this is how it looks as soon as i open it in noiseware( colors i mean) before it's even processed ( this is actually the filtered one and i had sharpened it after processing but since it doesn't change till i open it in noiseware it's the only one i can post. but the colors look like this as soon as i open it in noiseware)

I've just started using Noiseware Community and I noticed the same thing as soon as I opened a few photos of IASW. The originals were much more saturated color wise. In Noiseware, even before processing, it looked a lot cooler or more neutral and not nearly as nice as the original. Other photos were fine. Were you able to resolve this or fix it?

well i kind of "resolved" it by not using it anymore i downloaded some presets in lightroom for noise and am using them and the regular lightroom noise removal...i don't have a big problem unless it's 400+ so basicallly i don't use the higher isos
...i wonder if they changed something on the freebie cause i never had this problem before & i've been using it a couple yrs. i tried uninstalling and reloading incase sometime got messed up but it still does it. guess i could up the sat again after processing. maybe I'll try that next time i have a really noisy photo

Thanks for the quick response. I don't have LR and I haven't ever done any other PP so I know nothing about it...I guess I have to suck it up. I want to learn how to use Photoshop (which I do have) I just don't have the time right now and honestly don't know where to begin. Noiseware was actually the first software I've ever used to do any kind of processing of photos.

Has anyone noticed this with the Standard Edition (the one that costs $29.95)? I splurged and paid for the Standard Edition so I could do batch processing, but I haven't used it for a couple of months (no photography opportunities), so I don't know offhand if my colors changed.

Could it be a colorspace issue? The difference looks somewhat like what you would see if you opened an AdobeRGB image in a tool that assumed it was SRGB.

I have the standard edition and never noticed a color change.

good thinking...i looked at the help and it just says on the pro version u can use an embedded color profile....so maybe that is what it's doing.
i tired opening an srgb( 8 bit jpg what i used to use) and a adobe rgb ( elements rgb is adobe rgb, 8 bit,jpg)and they didn't really look different( i mean just the normal difference between the 2 profiles) but neither were desaturated , already edited photos just opened in elements to look at them then sent to noiseware,noise removed but colors still fine.original editing done in elements i think in what ever the default setting would be from camera raw( guessing 16 bit and adobe rgb ?) these were an older photo prelightroom for me
ok but now i tried it raw file straight from lightroom as tiff file, where i have it set to open in rgb, converted to jpg( so 16 to 8bit) and it's desaturated once i open it in noise ware...tried it with both options of rgb in lightroom, both did the same desaturation and tried it as 16 bit tiff, all desaturated as soon as opened in noiseware, look fine in the computer folder, open in noise ware and the color is washed out. no idea what it is opening them in...
so any ideas how to get around this? i did just read it's not so true anymore that jpgs degrade( except in 1 circumstance which of course i forget, but i do remember thinking it's something i don't do) so guess i could work on it in lightroom do noise in noiseware only if i really need it( like my 400 iso) then reopen in lightroom to redo saturation? i know it doesn't work well to redo saturation in elements once it's desaturated, it doesn't look the same as the original but never tried it again in lightroom although i'd be working with 8 bit so maybe i can't get the same sat there either..ok maybe i need to spring for the paying version of noise ware
