Noiseware – A Noise Reduction Tool Without Equal

Noiseware – A Noise Reduction Tool Without Equal Posted: 29 Jun 2010 06:35 AM PDT Who doesn’t have noise? If you don’t run into noise in your digital images, at least once in a while, you may not be pushing the envelope enough. You can photograph long after dark; if you haven’t tried it, you owe it to yourself to experience this—it’s magical. And if you find you don’t have a DSLR on hand, this should be no reason not to make pictures with a point-and-shoot or cell phone. Whether you’re using a cell phone, a point-and-shoot digital camera or a DSLR at high ISOs or with very long exposures, you’re bound to run into some noise. Noise happens. When you have it, there’s a lot you can do about it. There are many ways you can reduce noise during postprocessing; you could even say there’s an art to it. Learning these techniques can improve good exposures and save others. If Lightroom and Photoshop fail to adequately reduce noise in your images, it’s time to move to third-party plug-ins. For years, they’ve done a superior job of reducing noise, and they still do. While there are many fine third-party plug-ins for Photoshop (Noise Ninja, Neat Image, Dfine, etc.), one stands out from all the rest: Imagenomic’s Noiseware Professional. For me, Noiseware is the most robust noise-reduction software available. Ironically, while it offers the most sophisticated feature set, very often the default settings when you first open an image are all you’re likely to need. In many cases, very little, if any, additional tweaking is necessary … Read more at Digital PhotoPro. Find Noiseware here. Learn more in my workshops.

Based on all the work we looked at yesterday - I think each of you will find something of interest in the portfolios on this artist's site.

Let me know what you think.

Chess experiments

Inspire by Anna Gaskell

Sorry for another post. I am sooo excited about these.

yellow chair

yumm

Neutrals

I want to emulate Hope and try some neutrals. I brought a new tan colored dress and some grey shoes. Verrry excited.

Earthquake

I think I want to do some more optimizing on these.
I'm trying to simulate the movement you feel when you walk, run, or bump into something.
The earthquake gave me inspiration for this...yay! =]

Vega

The Land of Bubbles

A Day at the beach

OMG I love the reflector

Another post /=

I looove the gradient tool.

I got poison ivy for this shot.

I should be writing my paper. This is nice but I want to reshoot it. I played around with a lot of layer masks.

More swishing!

These are the best from this morning.

Simplicity

These are a continuation of the first pictures I posted. The conversion to B&W is a bit more dramatic/contrasted than when Patti edited them in class...but I tend to like really dark darks when it comes to a simple B&W.

Opinions...?

Food's Food

What do you guys think.

It was so pretty out today!

Layer Mask

06-17-10
From the Public Market.....
I took this into Photoshop and did the layer masking in order to keep the leaf lighter than the background. Does it work?

The Market Day: Rail Yard.

Depth. Can there be more?

Third times the charm

I'm not sure about this one.

Yay gradient tool!
