 p.1 #1 · Canon Noise Reduction options | |
I've been doing all of my RAW processing using Canon's DPP since going digital at the end of 2005. I did purchase CS3 a couple of years back but continued processing all of my RAW files using DPP and then using CS3 strictly for pano stiching, file resizing and watermarking my files.
I finally purchased Lightroom and will be swiching over to Lightroom to process my RAW files once I learn it and have downloaded the Michael Reichmann Lightroom tutorial videos to learn LR.
However, I don't have a very good understanding of noise reduction and have used the luminance and chrominance noise sliders in DPP for my noise reduction up to now.
However, I doubt if I can get by with my limited knowledge of noise reduction when I start to use Lightroom and have some shots where I wasn't able to correct the noise reduction in DPP.
I'd appreciate if I can some guidance on the folllowing:
- Getting a better understanding about noise reduction and what to do to correct it
- Advice on how to deal with noise reduction - should it/can it be dealt with in LR, or should is it better to deal with it outside of LR?
In DPP if I've got small colored dotd (green/orange, blue), i'll often stamp them out, which obviously is not the most effective way of dealing with the issue. Here are some examples from my recent trip, that I'm really not sure how the green blotches should be dealt with.
I'm laid out with H1N1 right now, so I actually have some time to learn some of this stuff now
