Make Every Moment Clear: How to Denoise Event Photography
Event photography is all about capturing life's most meaningful moments, from surprise proposals to baby showers to birthday celebrations. But no matter how beautiful the scene, digital noise can creep in and diminish the magic, making your photos look grainy or pixelated. This is where the AI-powered Denoiser comes in: This intelligent software is designed to remove noise from your digital photos without impacting the final quality.
Using Denoise AI, you can smooth out grain and noise while still leaving small details and faces intact. In this article, we’ll walk through what noise is, how the Denoiser works, and when you’ll want to use it – especially for all those once-in-a-lifetime moments.
What Is Image Noise, and Why Does It Happen?
Image noise is the visual distortion that makes areas of a photo appear grainy, speckled, or blotchy. It’s a common problem in digital photos due to the limitations of your device’s electronics, whether that’s your DSLR’s sensor or your phone camera’s processing capacity. It tends to show up in photos taken with dim lighting, high ISO settings, and/or long exposures. The result can be a distracting texture overlaying your image that is especially visible in darker areas, like night skies and darker skin tones.
Noise is common in event photography due to the nature of most events: Think dim reception halls, candlelit dinners, or birthday parties full of motion and movement. But these are some of the moments people want to remember best – and everyone deserves to capture the joy and fun of their most important life events without being distracted by fuzzy grain and off-color pixels.
BeFunky’s Denoiser works by analyzing your photo and intelligently reducing digital noise while preserving as much detail and sharpness as possible. No need for complicated sliders or technical knowledge – just upload, click, and watch the magic happen. Combined with the Batch Editor, it’s the perfect post-processing tool for proposals, weddings, baby showers, birthdays, and more.
How to Denoise Your Event Photos
Whether you’re a professional event photographer or just looking to clean up smartphone photos from your last birthday bash, Denoiser is a simple, effective AI denoising tool that provides you with high-resolution images in seconds. Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Upload a Noisy Photo
Open up the Denoiser and upload a noisy photo from a recent event. Here we’re using it to denoise a wedding reception photo. Once your image loads, you’ll see the Denoise tool open and apply the effect automatically.
The Denoise tool will make your photo look noticeably smoother and more polished. You can use the Before and After slider to see the difference.
Due to the low light of the evening reception venue, the original image has a high amount of pixelation and discoloration, particularly in the background and other dark areas. With the Denoise tool applied, this graininess has been reduced and details look clearer.
Step 2: Make Adjustments
The Denoiser is simple, with a few adjustments available. Increase or decrease the strength of the effect using the Adjustment slider. If you’d like, you can switch from AI mode to Standard. And finally, you can toggle the Recover Faces tool to bring out more details in your subjects’ faces. This is a great tool for still portraits and close-ups, but in this case, we’re turning it off to maintain the original photo’s sense of movement and excitement.
Step 3: Finalize and Save
The Photo Editor features a full suite of photo editing tools, all accessible online or through the mobile app. You may want to use some to make simple edits such as balancing your photo’s exposure, or using the Sharpen tool to add some crispness to your denoised photo without losing clarity. Once you’re finished, just click the Save button at the top of the page.
Here are our final results!
When to Use Denoise for Picture-Perfect Memories
Along with weddings, you can use the Denoiser for all kinds of events, especially when they take place in the evening or other low-light situations. This includes graduations, dances, concerts, community events, dinner parties, and more. Here’s a few more situations where the Denoiser can come in handy.
Kids’ Birthday Parties
Birthday parties – especially for young kids – are filled with energy and movement. With all that action, cameras may bump up ISO or struggle with motion blur. With the help of the Recover Faces tool, Denoise AI helps retain the spontaneity of the moment while improving the overall quality of your images.
Surprise Proposals
Proposals often happen at twilight, in candlelight, or under dim restaurant lighting – and you only get one shot. Whether you snapped the photo on a DSLR or a smartphone, there’s a good chance it’ll have some noise. The Denoise tool smooths out grain and captures the full details of proposal photos, making it wedding-album ready.
Corporate Events
Office events, company milestones, and holiday parties are often held in elegant but dimly lit venues. Add mood lighting, movement, and metallic decor, and digital noise is all but inevitable. Use the Denoiser to clean up your candid group shots and award presentations without losing the polished look of the event. It's the easiest way to make your photos as professional as the event itself.
