| Bob Wallace (BobTrips) Msg: #1 July 15th 2006 02:36:45 | Lots of noise. Try grabbing a (free) copy of Neat Image and I'll bet you can clean it up quite a bit. You've got a very weird ISO there. I assume it's a site bug. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Peter A (Peter) Msg: #2 July 15th 2006 11:07:59 | RE the ISO, I am curious about that myself. It was set to either one of two settings on my camera...ISO 400 (the higest option I have) or Unspecified ISO (trhe option one button push past ISO 400 before it hits ISO 50 again, I am unsure if it is a real setting, or just an oversight by Canon.). I don't believe I have an auto function for that setting, so I dont think it would, or could, have selected any ISO higher than 400. I was surprised by the noise, but will look into Neat Image...sounds like it could be a lot of help. Thanks for the lead on the program. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Bob Wallace (BobTrips) Msg: #3 July 15th 2006 13:42:29 | Neat Image is pretty impressive. Best if you use it on the areas where noise is a problem and not on high detail areas as NI can decrease resolution. ISO - check the EXIF data and see what your camera recorded. That will tell you whether it is the camera or this site. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Justin Watson (Justin) Msg: #4 July 16th 2006 07:01:05 | Yeah it is noisy, but i like the spots of light and the angle you shot it at. The moon behind the tree makes it more "spooky". | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Peter A (Peter) Msg: #5 July 16th 2006 13:02:04 | Yea, what makes me partial to this one is the immensity of the sky and the clouds illuminated by the moon. The midnight and Prussian blues are also some of my favorite colors...I am still working on eliminating some of the noise. Thanks for the review. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Peter A (Peter) Msg: #6 July 16th 2006 13:35:45 | Neat Imaged and cropped at the bottom. I like that program...there are a few images I want to run through it. When I learn to use a more sophisticated editing program, I will try noise reduction in tandem with selective sharpening. I am curious how that will work. |

| Bob Wallace (BobTrips) Msg: #7 July 16th 2006 14:59:06 | Looks better. I did a few things just to give you some ideas of what might be done. I always find that if I know 'that' something can be done I can generally figure out how to do it. First, it looks to me as if your brick column leans inward a little, as does the lamp pole. And the roof line over the porch in the background house seems to slant. So I used the Skew tool to straighten things up a bit. Then I use the brush tool and selected some portions of the sky that still looked noisy. I used the color noise reduction filter in PSE to smooth it out a bit. Finally I used the clone tool to knock out a couple bright spots, most noticeably the one to the right of the column. |
