Cool, thanks! Yours is a tiny bit sharper than my try, good job :D



Haha, yeah, when I posed it I didn't even look at it right away. Then I looked at the thread again, saw your comment, looked at my picture and said to myself "geez, that does look bad" lol


I dunno how lightroom works, but when I do any kind of noise reduction I duplicate the layer and erase where necessary. Makes it a lot easier :P.

Ah, that's a good idea! I don't know how to do that with photoshop, though, make it noise reduced. I got the sharp thing, not the noise reduction.

I know it's kind of a weird extra step kinda way of doing it but I've found the the noise reduction engine made by Magic Bullet looks the best imo. It's weird because Magic Bullet Denoise is a After Affects plugin, so I have to edit my stills in a AE then export as a jpeg. If I'm feeling lazy I use the Nik Software Photoshop plugin, Dfine 2.0. Sometime I feel like the built-in denoiser in Lightroom and Photoshop either over softens or actually adds more noise rather than reducing it.

Its just under filters, filter > noise > reduce noise, and just adjust the settings until you see what you want in the preview. Topaz also works nicely for things like this, you just have to be careful with it.
