[quote=dtouch1] I would like to get the noise out of my camera, any sugestions?
I have seen what neatimage can do -wow. i have it but have not used it yet.
Do you have an example pic or two? The way you take the pic and process it (camera settings, some of the adjustments in PS)can make noise worse or better. A properly exposed pic is less noisy than an underexposed one you have to crank up the levels on. USM can be used to reduce noise, but if improperly used can make it worse.
you could have the sensor remapped (not sure for yor camera if it has to go back in), but Nikon CoolPix cams, there is a program (from Russia) that worked a freakin miracle on mine!! It is a at your own risk thing.
thanks for all the tips, I ended up re-taking some shots, and I am much happier with one of the new ones, the 'dust' one I win keep and practice with learning the dust and scratches.... : )
I don't really use it myself, but think of it as the opposite of the Unsharp Mask filter. The radius value will determine how big an area will be affected, and the threshold value probably determines how different two areas have to be to apply the effect.
The best way to experiment is to first try the default values and see what you get, then try extremely high values to see how and where it's going to act. Then try a series of smaller values until you home in on the best settings for that picture. The best settings may be smaller than the defaults.
If you are just experimenting with that photo, you might also try repairing it witht the Clone/Rubber Stamp tool, as practice for the Advanced Editing challenges.
