With the Layer Mask, it is possible to apply the noise reduction only on the background, or to apply different levels of noise reduction on the subject and on the background. To get a very clean image without losing subject detail, you can use again the noise reduction coupled with Layer Mask. In the "Detail" tab of Camera RAW there are also some sharpening tools I don't recommend them (I keep all them on 0) because the Smart Sharpen of Photoshop is more effective.Īdvanced Noise Reduction with Layer MaskSometimes, the first noise reduction done in Camera RAW is not enough, in particular for out of focus areas. I am quite "conservative" with noise reduction it is better to leave a little of noise that to get an over processed image.

A common error is to apply an excessive noise reduction the resulting image is noise free but it has lost a lot of detail and it has a "plastic", artificial look.

Remember that reducing noise also reduces detail: don't use an excessive reduction! The noise reduction is an useful tool, but you should learn to use it properly. In some photos it is possible to eliminate completely the grain, while in other images it can be reduced but it is still visible. I leave both the Luminance Detail and Luminance Contrast on the default values, that are 50 for Luminance Detail and 0 for Luminance Contrast.

Depending by the image, I use a Luminance value between 5 and 30 (values above 20 should be used only for very high ISO photos). When the chroma noise has been removed, I try to remove or reduce the luminance noise, that is the grain.

I leave the Color Detail and the Color Smoothness sliders on the default value, that is 50. Don't use excessively high values, otherwise the colors become dull. Usually a value around 10-15 is enough for photos taken at extremely high ISO it may be necessary to go up to 25. For this reason, currently I do noise reduction directly in Camera RAW during RAW conversion, if it is necessary.Īfter zooming in at 100%, I begin by moving the Color slider in the Noise Reduction tab of ACR, until the chroma noise disappear. For photos taken at ISO up to 800 the difference between ACR NR and PS NR is very small, but from ISO 1600 ACR is better. The last crop (ACR) is clearly better: it has a more natural look and less noise. Here you can see a quick comparison: the first crop is taken from a ISO 12800 photo and it has no noise reduction, the second crop show the results of PS noise reduction and the third is the result of ACR noise reduction. Noise reduction with Adobe Camera RAW (vs Photoshop)Both Camera RAW and Photoshop offer a noise reduction tool, but the one of Camera RAW is more easy to use and more effective. Remember that while it is possible to reduce the noise, it is not possible to correct the blur created by an excessively slow shutter speed: thus, don't hesitate to use high ISO when it is necessary. Photoshop and Adobe Camera RAW currently offer some of the best tools for noise reduction, and a careful noise reduction can greatly improve the photos.
