So while it is really hard to see just how great the Noise Reduction tool is is from small photos I will share with you a sample. Don’t forget to check out Thomas Hawk’s sample as well.
Pay close attention to the noise on his face. That is where I was working off of.
…and here is another which was taken at Generation Records in New York City. Meet Stephen Brodsky of the band Cave In. I had with me a Canon G9 which as you can tell had horrible noise problems even at 800 ISO. (This photo is at 1600 ISO)
Look closely at the t-shirts in the background
The next sample is an old film scan from a project I was doing back when getting my Photography degree.
Check out the back wall in the photo
There are two ways you can purchase Adobe Lightroom 3. There is a full purchase or an upgrade. If you’re upgrading you save a lot of money. I’d also like to point out that I don’t have many photos with crazy amounts of noise because I tend to shoot at the lowest ISO possible as much as I possibly can. So with that said I apologize for the lack of horribly noisy samples.
Thanks for reading and happy shooting,
Scott
Side note: Enjoy this video I captured during Stephen Brodsky’s show
