Best noise filter for large format scans?

[edwinn]

I'm ready to install the trial version of DeNoise AI, and see the install file is 32 MB, which means the actual files could add up to twice that much. What is all in there besides a few plugin files? Are the plugins that big?

Thx

Did a Restore Point to prepare for DeNoise plugin(?) install just now, and right away it wanted to connect to the Internet with Topaz Installer, and that was ok. Then it wanted to go onto the Internet to install the curl executable and I hit the firewall `brakes´ and blocked it. Attached is the progress display of installing DeNoise via the curl in `disable all´ mod. It says 106 files totaling 1.37 GB? DeNoise is a 1.3 GB plugin? ?? That's more like a major app. What's going on here? and what is the scope of DeNoise?

It is a full application, with AI models (which unless they are designed for mobile, are almost always pretty large) my understanding is that the plugin just facilitates sending the image data from one app into AI Denoise and sending it back. I only used the trial but it was too slow on my old laptop.

Here's the website for the curl executable. https://curl.se/

Description:
"curl is used in command lines or scripts to transfer data. curl is also used in cars, television sets, routers, printers, audio equipment, mobile phones, tablets, settop boxes, media players and is the Internet transfer engine for thousands of software applications in over ten billion installations."

TEN BILLION installations! that sounds like software on smart phones, where people are installing `kool new apps´ without a care. I never got a smartphone for that reason.

It's ok to let Topaz installer connect, but not a ubiquitous installer. It's going to be TOO BIG of a scope for me, really.

Let's install a new government on my PC, shall we? Lol

Reduce noise and increase contrast while sharpening.. is the goal.
