I think I posted this ? a while ago but don't recall receiving feedback. Does PSE2 have a tool similar to this one in Ulead PhotoImpact-It is a tool under their Retouch Tool Panel then you select Retouch-Remove Noise. You then click on spots of noise and it removes them. Unlike the stamp/clone tool it doesn't leave dark spots on light background leaving you constantly restamping areas to match. It really works well to remove white spots, noise/backscatter from underwater pix.

Hi rhpenning,

Welcome to RP!

I'm surely the wrong person for answering your post as I don't have 'Ulead PhotoImpact-It' .... nor 'PSE2' .... In fact, I work only with Photoshop...

We have a Forum here (http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=9) which deals with different Software .... If you ask there, I'm sure somebody will gladly help...

As for, generally, removing noise, you could download and try 'Neat Image' (http://www.neatimage.com/download.html) (the demo version is free) .... I personally use it a lot and think is fantastic ....

Here is a link (http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2587) to a previous thread on the topic wich also includes Before & After examples.
