There
are several ways to reduce noise from
ISO 100, ISO 200 and ISO 400 and ISO 800*
Coolpix 990, 995, 880, 885 & 4500 images. The
trick is to reduce as much noise as possible while keeping
most of detail and sharpness intact.
These
Photoshop actions work exclusively
with Nikon Coolpix 990/995, 880/885
& new 4500 jpeg
or tiff files.
They are optimized to reduce or in some cases completely
eliminate noise from normal/high images, while retaining
most detail and sharpness.
They are also much faster than any
noise reduction currently available. (compatible
with Photoshop's batch mode).
All
cp-isoR actions are compatible with Photoshop 5.0, 5.5,
6.0, 7 or higher (PC and MAC) Currently
not compatible with PhotoshopLE and Elements.

All
images were taken at the same location with a tripod
and self-timer. No manipulation was made to the
images prior performing the actions. The samples
are crops from the 100% image.

ISO
400
images show a tremendous amount of noise. For
that reason, some photographers never use it.
When running the new cp-iso400R action,
you can rescue those ISO 400 shots, and produce
professional quality images.

ISO

images show a considerable amount of noise in
low light conditions. When running the new cp-iso200R
action, you can make those ISO200 shots useable
and produce professional quality images at this
ISO sensitivity.

100
already provides relatively clean images with small
amounts of noise when shot in normal light conditions.
However, when shooting in low light there is a possibility
that ISO 100 images could have a noticeable amount
of noise in the shadows (noticeable in prints).
This smart action will ONLY reduce noise when necessary.
Therefore, you can safely run cp-iso100R
with all your ISO 100 images, and not have to worry
about loosing precious detail. It also works in
Photoshop batch mode, which is a great timesaver
for professionals who want to clean up a large quantity
of pictures all at once. |

images show extremely large amounts of noise.
For that reason, some photographers never use
it. When running the new cp-iso800R action,
you can rescue those ISO 800 shots, and produce
acceptable quality images.
