Neat Video & Neat Image community

I'm using NI 5.25 Pro+ with CS2 and my Canon 5D. I created noise profiles for RAW files for all ISOs (which were actually posted on here). NI recognizes the profiles (lists them in the device noise pull down). However, when I select 'Auto Match Profile' I get an error saying "Neat Image cannot find a matching preset for the input image".

However, if I manually select the wrong profile (say ISO 1600) and click on the auto match button, I get the error message BUT it changes the profile to correct matching ISO speed of the current image.

So I take a look at the matching parameters and they are as follows:
Device: Match
ISO rate: High
All others: Ignore (changed this to try and help)

It appears to me the error message is wrong, since it does flip back to the right ISO matching profile. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug? I want to do batch processing in CS2, and I can't have this error message keep coming up.

Thanks,

Derek

It looks like profile matching is working correctly, but preset matching does not (probably because it is misconfigured). Disable preset matching in Options | Matching | Preset Matching, and the error message will disappear.

Hope this helps.

I unchecked both boxes (Look for preset...., follow preset matching...) and I still get the error every time.

Did you restart Neat Image after disabling preset matching? Do you have any preset matching rules in the preset matching table?

Thank you,
Vlad

Yes I've restarted it many times (using plug-in in CS2 and opening multiple files) and no matching rules.

And you did select to NOT do "Auto match preset" in Options | Defaults | Default Filter Preset?

Ah ha! That was it. Thanks! I wish these features were a bit more intuitive or that the warning box gave you the option to turn off that checkbox so you wouldn't have to go hunting for it.

Yes, this could be improved, I agree.

BTW, why that option was enabled in the first place?

Um not sure...I could have turned it on..not sure.
