![]() ![]() You’ll also notice that ACR/Lightroom does a decent job of getting rid of the noise, but at the cost of softening the detail of the edges in the image. In fact, through this article you will see that the results I got in Photoshop using its Reduce Noise filter is simply unacceptable. However, this was about the default experience and I wasn’t happy with the results I got. In looking at the results, I was unimpressed with the default experience I got from Photoshop, but it could easily be argued that with a better knowledge of this tool and isolating the changes to only a specific channel I could get better results. This photo was probably the most noisy picture of this roundup. I repeated this process for each layer, with the layer in question being the only selected and visible layer at the top I do my copy. Finally I did a select all of this square and did a copy, followed by a paste into a new 3 x 2 inch 240 dpi sRGB target document.I then did a 1 inch x 1 inch 240 dpi crop of an area I deemed to be the most noisy, and saved the PSD.In some cases, like Chicago, that was just Lightroom 2’s default noise reduction setting. I had previously processed all of these images in Lightroom with some level of noise reduction, so I simply used the values I had set by hand when I originally processed these photos. For Lightroom, I actually used Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) as they use the same code behind the scenes and my testing couldn’t detect a difference between the products.Noise Ninja also has the benefit of custom camera profiles I created that it detects and uses to assist in its processing accuracy (see the Noise Ninja review for the difference it makes). For Noise Ninja I do click the Profile Image button, and for Noiseware I selected the Default “setting” for the Sledding photo, and Night Scene for the others as I expect that would be what any reasonable person would do when experimenting with these products. I repeat this process for all of the other filters. ![]() I don’t make any changes because I’m wanting to compare the out of box experience that you would get. When running filters for this test (except ACR/Lightroom), I simply run the filter and click ok to close it on its appropriate layer.
