Darren White presents “Noise Reduction in Night Photography Images” on Wednesday, April 17, 2019 at 7pm, Lone Tree Civic Center.
Arrive 15 minutes early for social time, to visit with your fellow club members and meet some new folks. The program is 7pm – 9pm.
If you have an issue with noise in your night photography images then this is the event you will want to attend.
LTPC member and professional landscape photographer Darren White will talk about the various types of noise and how to remove them from your images.
If you have ever wanted to print your night photography in large sizes but were afraid that the noise would show up too much, then you will want to attend. While these are all good options for quality night images, depending on your end goal, here is a list of ways to reduce noise from most effective to least effective. It’s also not uncommon to combine some of these together. Darren will go over each example and show you exactly how he controls noise in his images to give them a super clean look without losing details.
- Stacked Pano w/ Long Exposure foreground and stacked sky – most time consuming at time of capture and in PP
- Long Exposure foreground w/ stacked sky
- Stacked images – most widely used option
- Pin Light Blend Mode
- Dust and Scratches
- Lighten Blend Mode
- Nik Define
- ACR/LR – last resort
