Since most of my photography consist of natural light settings… I sometimes have to deal with noise.

What is noise?

Noise in photography is almost always bad.

Noise is the annoying grain you get due to a lower light setting.

I had 2 photo shoots in a row that had the most awful noise… the baby’s face was so grainy I was heart-broken.

A friend of mine introduced me to a beautiful program called Noiseware. This program does cost a pretty penny (around $50 – $70.00) BUT! it has been worth every dime. It ties into your Photoshop Elements or CS3 programs.

I find myself addicted to it… using it on photos that don’t really have a noise issue… but just need that extra special softness to them.

In short…

NOISEWARE ROCKS!

Heres one example of what it can do (subtle, but noticeable difference)

BEFORE reducing noise…
