Removing Noise

JWPhoto · 12-31-2008, 12:02 PM

I shot my daughters soccer game over the weekend and there was very poor lighting in the soccer arena. Most of the pictures have an annoying amount of noise in them and I wanted to know what you use to remove noise. I was looking online and Noise Ninja seems to be the most popular non photoshop tool to use. Any feedback/tricks will be appreciated and here is a picture for reference.

That's how bad the noise is ;-) SmugMug says they are having temporary difficulties so it should show up soon...

For most photos I use Lightroom 2. It does a decent job. For nicer stuff I use Noise Ninja.

I use a program called neat image. It is either a photoshop plugin or a stand alone program. Here is what it did with your picture. I also adjusted the color balance by just a half a hair.

Lightroom 3 has much improved noise reduction, if you're a LR fan, give it a try.
