The "Tip of the Week" on my site demonstrates how to use a surface mask when removing noise. Keeping noise removal away from edges prevents it from softening your images.

I find removing noise in color lab mode is one of the easyest ways and does a good job. together with neat image that is 2 quick ways and does the job good, but i will definatly look into your way of doing it, when i get home.

i have just the right image to test it on. Noisy image (http://www.photosig.com/go/photos/view?id=1424472) .Ofcause there the noise was added to make mood, but it could be fun to try and remove it agen :)
i will also test it on the normal noise i try to remove.

Thanks for the tip.

I've been trying it on several pictures and it works very well!!!

Thank you for sharing!

I agree with the others. Great tip. I don't know why the light didn't dawn earlier. Your tip makes perfect sense.
