You can reduce noise that arises in RAW images shot at night or with a
high ISO speed.
NR is an abbreviation for “noise reduction”.

Click the [Apply] button.

Noise reduction cannot be applied when [Viewing and saving RAW
images]
is set to [High speed] in the [Preferences] window.
Select [High quality] to reduce noise.
After selecting multiple images in the main window, you can set the
same noise reduction level for the images without displaying the [NR
Preview] window, by adjusting the noise reduction level in the [NR/ALO]
tool palette
using the [Luminance noise reduction] and
[Chrominance noise reduction] sliders, and then clicking the [Apply]
button.
The noise reduction function does not work
To set the same noise reduction level for several images
You can set the default noise reduction beforehand, using
[Default noise reduction settings] in the [Tool palette] tab sheet in
the [Preferences]
.
• When [Apply camera settings] is selected, you can pre-set a
noise reduction level that suits the camera settings beforehand
as the default.
• When [Set as defaults] is selected, you can pre-set a preferred
default setting for the noise reduction level beforehand. This is
particularly useful for applying noise reduction to all the images
in a folder at once, such as batch noise reduction for images
with high ISO speeds.
However, for images with recipes attached, the noise level
recorded in the recipe will be applied.
If [Luminance noise] has been set, resolution may be reduced
along with reduction of noise.
If [Chrominance noise] has been set, color bleeding may occur
along with reduction of noise.
