Photoshop Foundations: Noise Reduction
Noise Reduction is a very subjective topic in Photography. Some like the noise obliterated, blown to plastic smithereens. Others like it subtle if any at all. Either way, no matter how you look at it, Noise Reduction is essential, especially on high ISO images.
In this course, I am going to teach you the importance of GOOD noise reduction. These techniques will maintain the integrity of your photos while reducing the noise yet keeping details sharp. While not every image needs noise reduction, you will find those that do can be very tricky to do it correctly.
At the end of the day, Noise Reduction is extremely subjective. It is subjective to the camera, the sensor, the ISO, and the individual reducing it. In this course, we are going to take an objective view and crack the subjective code all without Plugins using Photoshop and Photoshop alone!

At times I had struggled with noise in some photos. Eight easy to follow lessons in the Noise Reduction course teaches you how to apply NR using different methods, including the Blur Tool in Photoshop. Blake even includes free noise reduction Actions that you can download and use in Photoshop. He also provides photos that you can follow along with as he goes through eight lessons…invaluable for learning and remembering.
