Batch processing

The Home and Pro versions  offer you a powerful feature of processing many images in automatic mode. The noise reduction algorithm automatically detects the noise level so it is not necessary to set the options for each image. Even if you want to set options for each image separately there is no need to wait for the image to be processed. You can queue this job and perform it later.

Adding an image to the queue

To add the image to the queue use hotkey F6 or the menu command Queue\Add and load next. To change the settings of the image that is already in the queue simply add it to queue again. If you want that current options to be applied to all images in the folder, use the menu command Queue\Add all to queue. You can also add one or several images to the Queue from the navigation panel using context menu.

Editing queue and starting batch processing

You can check which images were added to the queue. Press F7 or call the menu command Queue\Show Queue... to see the list of images to be processed.

In the Queue dialog you can remove one or all images, edit options for each images and start batch processing by Start button.

Setting batch options

Please, before starting the batch processing check the parameters on the Options tab in the Queue dialog.

Here you can select the output file format, the output directory and the output name.

By default the output images are saved in the subdirectory of source directory with the name "filtered".

The output name is created from a source name by adding prefix and/or suffix. Default suffix is "_hnf".

Starting the batch processing

Press the Start button in the Queue dialog.

You will see a progress bar for the current image and for the whole queue.
You will also see a preview of the current image. In the report window, the list of processed images is shown with the level of detected noise. If this level seems to be abnormally low or high, check this image manually.

The processed images are removed from the queue. You can stop processing and close the program. The queue contents will be saved and you will be able to continue processing later.
