9.2. Job defaults
Default color space
This is the working color space selected by default when a new image filtration job is created (if there is
no default profile selected; see Default device noise profile below). You can always change working
color space later on, if necessary; this option just provides a default choice.
The working color space is a color space used by Neat Image to analyze and process images. Currently,
there are three working color spaces available: RGB, YCrCb JPEG, and YCrCb Symmetric. For most
images, we recommend the use of YCrCb JPEG for color images and YCrCb Symmetric for grayscale
(halftone) images.
Note: The working color space does not affect or change any color profiles (ICC profiles) embedded in
the image file.
Default output bitdepth
This option controls default image bitdepth of the images processed by the filter. For example, if the
input image is 8/24 bits and the output bitdepth is selected to be 16/48 bits, then the input image will be
converted to 16/48 bits, processed with the filter, and the output image will be 16/48 bits. If ‘match
input’ is selected then the output bitdepth will match the input bitdepth.
Default device noise profile
The default noise profile file is automatically opened by Neat Image when a new image filtration job is
created. Specify the name and location of the file containing this noise profile in the available space
below using the file browser ([…] button).
You may want to use this option if you frequently use the same profile. Any valid noise profile can be
made default.
Default filter preset
The filter settings are automatically loaded from the default filter preset when a new image filtration job
is created. Specify the name and location of the file containing this preset in the available space below
using the file browser ([…] button).
You may want to use this option if you frequently use the same preset. Any valid filter preset can be
made default.
Auto save output image
Check this box to have the auto save output image option selected by default in the Filtration Job
Editor and Batch window.
Auto delete completed job
Check this box to have the auto delete completed job option selected by default in the Filtration Job
Editor and Batch window.
Output file name suffix
Select the suffix added to the output image file name by default.
9.3. Profiling options
Combination of last fine-tuning analyses
This is a way of combining multiple fine-tuning analyses (related to the same brightness range) in the
noise profile equalizer.
