Advanced noise removal

November 11th, 2007 in Photoshop by Allwin Samuel Jeba

I know that most of you people would think that there is a despecle feature in Photoshop.

Well this method provides better results!

Step 1: Open the Image
Step 2: Convert the Image to Lab Colour by Image –> Mode –> Lab Color
Step 3: Goto the channels pallete and select Channel “a”
Step 4: Filter –> Blur –> Gaussian Blur (5px)
Step 5: Now select Channel “b”
Step 6: Filter –> Blur –> Gaussian Blur (5px)
Step 7: Now select Channel “Lightness”
Step 8: Filter –> Noise –> Despecle
Step 9: Image –> Mode –> RGB Color

Here is the difference…

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.
