Took my Sony a6400 out for night street photography—total letdown! Every shot was grainy as hell, even after tweaking ISO (kept it under 1600!) and opening up the aperture to f/1.8. Tried fixing it first:
- Camera’s built-in NR? Made photos look muddy, lost all detail.
- Other editing tools? Either erased texture or left noise behind.
Then I grabbed HitPaw FotorPea—game-changer for a6400 low-light pics!
Here’s how simple it was:
Dragged my grainy night shot into the tool (no pro skills needed!)
Tapped “Denoise Model” → picked “Realistic” (keeps natural texture—smart!)
Hit “Preview” → boom, noise gone, edges sharp, and the city lights still popped.
Batch-fixed 5 more shots in 10 mins—no blur, no weird artifacts. Works on Mac/Windows, and I even used the “Low-Light Model” to brighten a few underexposed snaps.
