![]() All of my methods have made the problem worse or the same (just different). I’ve also tried spraying the areas with the existing color at different levels of opacity. I just can’t spray the whole area black □ I usually start seeing the noise when cropping or zooming.ĭoes anyone have a good method to remove noise from dark areas of photos? I also need to keep the folds and creases in the clothing. ![]() These photos have good lighting characteristics. On a couple of photos I get a lot of noise in the dark areas of the photos. I photograph weddings with my Fuji S7000. Use move tool to move layer down one pixel and over one pixel First use Rick’s method and then blur slightly where needed. I’m also thinking using both methods together would work well. My other research indicated I could also use gausian blur or figure out which level (R,G or B) has the most noise and blur only that level. This way, future searchers won't be encouraged to think that there's a problem with Topaz DeNoise.Rick, what an awsome method. It would be helpful to mark the relevant post from Erik as the "selected answer" so that this thread is marked as resolved. It would be nice if they were a combined tool. Perhaps I should try Sharpen AI but then I need to figure out which to use first. Still some learning ahead as I'm not getting great results with the sharpness slider, a more gentle touch seems to be needed so it's an issue with me and not Topaz. Though not wanting a divorce, that wasn't going to happen. A lot cheaper than the Canon R6 outfit I've been envious of. More than pleased as my goal was success with ISO 3200 which was only occasionally satisfactory with Lightroom. Just processed an ISO 6400 image and am very pleased. Thanks to Erik's help, I'm now getting very good results, definitely better than I can get with Lightroom. However, I also tested Clear AI and that seems to work a bit better not just on clearing the image but also improving it by applying some sharpness. For noise reduction, it simply doesn't seem to work 7 out of 10 times I will try it. I have also tried the Topaz Denoise with the Fuji files and unfortunately the results aren't close to what I am getting from my Nikon or Canon files. Clear mode for both of these - somewhat atypical settings, but it's what worked best for these: There is just no question in my mind that the X-T3 is noisier than the X-T2.Īgain, 1/1000" and ISO 12800 wasn't necessary here, a lot of DR for ISO 12800. Did you, by any chance, use the electronic shutter for these? When I had an X-T3 I noticed that the ES can add some unwanted noise. The shadow areas required at least 2 stops of exposure push to get them to this - that's an ISO 8000 equivalent so some of that noise is understandable. Why 1/1000"? You could have shot at a significantly lower ISO with a lower SS. I had a go at your shots - they are really noisy, but unnecessarily so. My goal is to get usable ISO 3,200 shots for viewing on a 4K TV. For the ISO 12800 shot, dragging the Remove Noise slider from the default of 17 to 40 dramatically reduces the noise but reduces the image to a water color, got to be more subtle with my adjustments. (Time for a faster GPU.) Lots more practice needed. I did discover part of my problem, not waiting long enough for the image to be processed after dragging the sliders. Like Eric, I get great results using it as a plugin within Photoshop and ACR converted RAW files. Did you apply it to a RAW file? I've gotten great results both with NR and sharpening using exported tiffs from within Lightroom. It depends how you use it, and however you used it wasn't the way to go. RH Rick Hughes Select the area with the noise. in Manual, no improvements except for large black rectangles overlaid over the image with some slidersĬonclusion: can't see any reason to purchase it. area dark noise Must-have mockup pack for every graphic designer Easy-to-use drag-n-drop Photoshop scene creator with more than 2800 items.in Auto, it appears that the sliders are disabled.While there are dramatic improvements for Canon sensors so there's no denying that this can be a useful tool but I seen no improvement for the X-Trans sensor. I've read most of the articles on the Fuji forum about DeNoise AI and must say that I've not seen any examples that are superior overall to Lightroom for Fuji. the petals on the left side still retain all their noise the petal on the right side of the flower had all the noise removed the center of the flower is nicely improved and retained more little to no noise reduction in out of focus areas, about equal to Lightroom.no noise reduction in the branch, Lightroom does a much better job.This is a tough ISO 2000 image but I'm just testing with the trial version of the software.
