Okay, did that, but sent the noise-reduced image back to Lr for curves and tones adjustments. I reduced the Whites and Highlights to bring back detail in the player's white shirts, and upped the Shadows. I bumped the Clarity up (+11) and added some masked sharpening to make strings and other fine detail pop a bit. Masking: 90 Detail: 10 Radius: 0.8 Amount: 43 So here's one possible rendering: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/khm0s1dvica0t9l/yLxigacoCO I used Imagenomic Noiseware to clean up the image. It's very fine-tunable and I was able to tell it to reduce only the very high-frequency noise that I saw in the blue channel, and preserve contrast and detail. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
