Very cool! I knew that pic was noisy. What did you do?

 

[StCraft]

Reduce noise from Neat image plugin for photoshop.
Its a ******* awsome reducer noise.
May be too easy lol !

Well that for the noise but i did may 6 different thing to the picture. (sharp/balance level/color/ etc...) nothing big ...

I've got Neat Image, but it's not working right. I need to reinstall it I think.

I try to do any sharpening near the end of my processing too, otherwise you tend amplify the halo effects while completing other processing effects. But DEFINITELY do it BEFORE resizing!

Astrograzer can you please explain the difference of doing unsharp pre pre or post resize?
Thanks

great photos....... I am dying to get close to your skill...

I am a new at this photo stuff and having problems getting off the starting line.....

Questions:
- Did you use a flash for these photos?
- What type of shutter speed?
- Do you manually set you WB??
- IS all the color "adjustments" done on the PC with software? or does the photo look a little like the posted?

I rarely use flash. At some point I'll get an external flash that I can fire from above the tank.

I typically use an auto setting on the shutter, and shoot in Aperature Priority mode. I never tough WB. I don't do a lot in Photoshop besides cropping, some levels, and Unsharp Mask for the most part.
