9.5. Filtration options
Audible indication
Neat Image has a simple audible signal system.
The when filtration jobs are processed checkbox is used to enable/disable periodic sounds during
filtration process. This may help you monitor the application while it is processing jobs.
Use when all filtration jobs are done checkbox is to enable/disable a single sound to indicate the end
of filtration process.
Filtration Job Editor
Auto minimize is to minimize the Filtration Job Editor window during filtration. This has two
purposes; one it can speed up the process and conserve memory, and two, it gets the editor out of your
way while it works.
Auto restore is to restore the Filtration Job Editor window at the end of filtration.
Filtration Queue window
Auto restore is to restore the Filtration Queue window when all filtration jobs are done.
Filter process priority
Use this option to adjust the priority of the filtration process running in a multitasking environment:
• Idle – lowest priority; filtration gives way to other applications when necessary.
• Below – priority below normal; provides the smoothest performance for all applications.
This may slow down Neat Image a bit, but will allow you to work normally with
other applications, especially if the computer is slow.
• Normal – normal priority; filtration may slightly slow down other applications.
Auto recalculate preview
This option enables/disables automatic recalculation of preview in the Filtration Job Editor. When
enabled, automatic recalculation is invoked every time you select a new image area or change filter
parameters. Auto-preview is invoked only when the Noise Filter Settings tab is used.
...every N second(s)
This is the delay in seconds between a change of filter parameters and automatic preview recalculation.
9.6. Folder options
Use independent open/save folders/directories
This option enables using two independent folders (directories) for opening and saving files. If this
option is selected then Neat Image will remember two folders, otherwise, only one folder for both
opening and saving files.
Use independent folders/directories for images/profiles/presets
This option enables using three independent folders (directories) for working with images, device noise
profiles and filter presets. If this option is selected then Neat Image will remember three folders,
otherwise, only one folder for images, profiles and presets.
