Noiseware – A Noise Reduction Tool Without Equal

Noiseware – A Noise Reduction Tool Without Equal Posted: 29 Jun 2010 06:35 AM PDT Who doesn’t have noise? If you don’t run into noise in your digital images, at least once in a while, you may not be pushing the envelope enough. You can photograph long after dark; if you haven’t tried it, you owe it to yourself to experience this—it’s magical. And if you find you don’t have a DSLR on hand, this should be no reason not to make pictures with a point-and-shoot or cell phone. Whether you’re using a cell phone, a point-and-shoot digital camera or a DSLR at high ISOs or with very long exposures, you’re bound to run into some noise. Noise happens. When you have it, there’s a lot you can do about it. There are many ways you can reduce noise during postprocessing; you could even say there’s an art to it. Learning these techniques can improve good exposures and save others. If Lightroom and Photoshop fail to adequately reduce noise in your images, it’s time to move to third-party plug-ins. For years, they’ve done a superior job of reducing noise, and they still do. While there are many fine third-party plug-ins for Photoshop (Noise Ninja, Neat Image, Dfine, etc.), one stands out from all the rest: Imagenomic’s Noiseware Professional. For me, Noiseware is the most robust noise-reduction software available. Ironically, while it offers the most sophisticated feature set, very often the default settings when you first open an image are all you’re likely to need. In many cases, very little, if any, additional tweaking is necessary … Read more at Digital PhotoPro. Find Noiseware here. Learn more in my workshops.

So, today was the first day of Advertising Elements, and we had a sort of open portrait assignment to complete this evening, and I just wanted to share a couple favorites from the shoot. Tomorrow morning I have a still life in the studio, and then another assignment for tomorrow evening. It's going to be a crazy but productive summer. Hope you all are enjoying your break so far :)

Breakfast

I'm not sure what the protocol is on the class blog seeing as how we aren't the PA3 class anymore. But I don't see the harm in continuing. I'm under the impression that no one has posted anything since Spring quarter ended anyway because everyone is vegetating. In my head I picture it as everyone sort of melting and sizzling away in a chair because they don't have to move anymore. I sure hope it's not that though.
So, I thought I'd just drop in and leave you with part of the breakfast I made last weekend. My sister and her friend stayed at my place, so I had to cook extra.
