Noise

reaConverter supports two different types of noise effects, with customized intensity, which can give your photos an interesting twist or can make them look better even if they were taken with a low quality camera.

Excessively smooth and "clean" images can sometimes be considered uninteresting and dull, so many photographers voluntarily choose to add a noise effect in digital image editing. Images that seem slightly more grainy or blurred suggest a nice vintage atmosphere and this effect can also make certain parts of the photo stand out while hiding others.
