Denoiser III has five options: Reduce Noise, Smooth Colors, Preserve Detail, Sharpen Amount and Sharpen Radius. A lot of denoise plug-ins have an abundance of options when, in reality, unless you are an online editor nerd like me or a colorist, you probably don’t have time to mess around with the different noise removal options and render each time. That was when I decided to never ever anymore buy a plugin from them.The options are limited and I believe we are better off for it.

But when I then tried to claim any of those offered licenses - I just got silence. It was a very depressing thing to see how they just squeezed money out of them with almost zero effort into development.Īfter I complained to support several times about issues I had, they promised me to give me two licenses of my choice for free. Then came MB 3 with a completely new interface.Īnd all the other plugins they bought together over the years - most of them never got any improvements in a decade a longer.

But still had random red screen errors during final rendering. And they did not ever care to do something about this. Then they brought GPU acceleration via OpenGL - but when I changed to a much better graphics card speed did not improve a bit. Also came with a lot of errors like clipping super whites, render bugs. Then came MB II with a completely new interface - and zero backward compatibility so you had to redo everything in an old project. Got an expensive license back then in 2005 for their first Magic Bullet plugin for AFX which was really nice.

Just wanna add that my experience with Red Giant hasn't been great either over the years.
