Hi,

Here's the story about how I managed to reduce digial noise (both luminance and color) on a concert photo. The story is a little bit about a concert phtography, but the main point of it is a noise reduction plugin that produces great results and does not require much experience in photoshop.

Really time saving, I must admit. Digital noise is very unpleasant artefact that spoils really good shots sometimes. Every shot is attached to a unique moment which will never happen again, and the only thing we have to do with a cool, but noisy photo is to retouch it slightly to makei it perfect.

Enhjoy!

Sorry, Al. The link didn't work for me.

Isn't this the same as the earlier "Dark and noisy guitarist (terrible quality concert photo)" thread?

Almost. I decided to share my experience with those, who are seeking (like me) for just technical solutions for noise reduction.

Yesterday I had one more concert. And again, got several interesting images to be fixed. The light was terrible and due to high ISO settings I've got lots of noise. Since I'm more a musician than a photo retouch professional, I just use software to get rid of picture imperfections.

That thread showed me that to fix a noisy photo some experience and TIME is required. Time is critical for me always.

That was just a temporary issue. Now it's alright. Please, try again.

Thanks.
