even my brothers that are very very good photoshop users say the same thing. but if someone write a little tutorial on this argument could be a good thing. for example take a photo with normal noise, clean it and after sharpen the image. a second example with a photo with great noise amount could be great :) |
There are many tutorials out there, just google Neat Image. I personally find Neat Image too destructive, the plug in leaves you with far too little leverage. As I said, the best thing is to delete Neat Image from your system. |
personally, i don't like neat image. i have the free version but always i obtain a very bad plastic look. probably the photo have too much noise. |

Stupid question but how do you reduce noise and maintian sharpness in the subjects. Everytime I try to reduce noise either thru CS2 or neat image I seem to lose sharpness. Can this be avoided or does it go hand in hand when you apply a reduction.

Read the Ron Bigelow's articles about noise that someone suggested before. It explains how to keep the sharpness on the edges.
ETA: no question is stupid, and yours was actually a good one :D

It depends, primarily on how noisy the image is, and how much fine detail there is in the image. Using CS2's noise reduction tools takes a deft hand and a lot of knowledge to clean up a noisy image without blowing away all the detail. Ron Bigelow has a series of articles on how to do noise reduction with PS.
NeatImage and Noise Ninja will do better with their default settings, but an image with both a lot of detail and a lot of noise will take some tweaking with any tool. It takes practice, even with the high-tech tools. I also find that it helps to do the noise reduction on a layer. Then I can use layer masks and reduce the opacity of the layer to get the best mix of detail and noise reduction. |
