PureImage NR is a specialized, free software application from Mediachance designed for wavelet-based noise reduction and color correction in digital images. Originally adapted from a video de-noising plugin, it is designed to remove digital noise while preserving image sharpness and detail better than conventional methods. Key details about PureImage NR include:

Nature Mode: Retains fine details in outdoor images (trees, grass).
Portrait Mode: Preserves natural skin texture, avoiding a “plastic” look.
High Noise Mode: Restores images with extreme noise from high ISO settings.
Scanner Mode: Uses a special de-screen filter to remove Moiré patterns.
Other Features: Includes color correction, color matching, and image rotation tools.
File Support: Supports various input/output formats including JPG, PNG, BMP, TIF, TGA, and RAW.
