# Extreme

### Model Overview

**Denoise Extreme** prioritizes removing severe noise and heavy compression artifacts, favoring cleanliness over fine detail retention.

### Key Capabilities

* Removes extreme noise and strong compression artifacts
* Best suited for severely degraded or internet-sourced images
* For non-RAW images with severe noise or heavy compression

### Getting Started

**Endpoint**

* <https://api.topazlabs.com/image/v1/denoise/async>
  * `model` — `"Extreme"`

<details>

<summary><strong>Endpoint-Specific Parameters</strong></summary>

* `face_enhancement` — boolean
  * Leverages our face recovery model to enhance faces.
* `face_enhancement_strength` — decimal between 0 and 1 *(required if `face_enhancement=true`)*
  * Sets the strength of the face recovery.
* `face_enhancement_creativity` — decimal between 0 and 1 *(required if `face_enhancement=true`)*
  * Choose realistic or creative face recovery.
* `subject_detection` — `"foreground"`, `"background"`, or `"all"`
  * Choose where enhancements are applied.
* `strength` — decimal between 0.01 and 1
  * Reduces noise in the image. Too high can remove detail and slightly blur the image.
* `minor_deblur` — decimal between 0.01 and 1
  * Slightly sharpens the image. Counteracts softness caused by noise reduction.
* `original_detail` — decimal between 0 and 1
  * Return texture and fine details lost during noise reduction. Start at low values and slowly increase.
* `denoise_strength` — decimal between 0 and 1, default 0.5
  * Sets the strength of the denoise.
* `sharpen_strength` — decimal between 0 and 1, default 0.5
  * Sets the strength of the sharpening.
* `opacity` — decimal between 0 and 1, default 1.0
  * Adjust strength of opacity.

These parameters should be appended as key-value fields in the form-data request bodies (i.e. alongside the `model`, `output_height`, and `face_enhancement` etc. fields). Any parameters not explicitly provided are **automatically** configured by our auto-parameter model. Extra parameters provided that are not supported are ignored.
