Nice tutorial in working excellent
Thank you!
I bought two compact cameras (Canon A70 and Casio Exilim 75) to discover that both are terrible in low light. With this simple procedure I can recover most of my shots!
Nice job
Nice, thanks. I just got a Blackberry Pearl and it gets pretty noisy in low light, and this fixed almost all of it. Great tutorial.
