Noise Reducer Plugin

snead · #1 01-08-2004, 08:18 AM

I’ve been learning so much from this web site I thought I’d make contribution. I did not create this noise reducing plugin ( I wish I had the ability) but I have been using it with excellent results. I have compared it with some of the leading noise reducers and think it equals or surpassed the ones I’ve tested.

It is a free download available from: http://www.canonians.com/noise.htm

Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Snead:

This is a pretty meaty (and useful) post for your first one. Well done. And "free" for this action is a much better price than for the Neat Image plug-in.

Glad you decided to jump in the pool. Now that you know how easy it is, do it more often!

Welcome aboard.

Welcome to RetouchPRO Snead. Thank you for the link to what looks to be a very useful piece of software. Because you started out this way, we're going to let you slip by without paying your dues for this month.

I think all you need to do is locate it in your Actions palette. Starts off with ISO. Highlight it then run play. Let me know if it works.

Prompts? Unless David has changed it lately, there are no prompts...?

Unless you have very fine detail, that is detail which is close to the SNR, I don't think you will lose much sharpness, running it at "Mild".

oh, found out why i got prompts.
i didn't switch off the dialogs. =P

Another classic yet efficient (and free) noise reducer is available at http://www.2morrow.dk/75ppi/coolpix/actions/

Hi,

I just used those actions and they are fabulous. I use Photoshops CS's wonderuful brightness/highlight tool but if you over do it the images get very contrasty and noisy.. this tool really cleans this up. Also worked well for smoothing out an image taken with an entry level consumer end digital camera
