How to Reduce Noise in Photoshop

[@Pasghettios1]

What I love about these videos is that you go into detail and explain exactly what's going on. Most other tutorials only go as far as telling you what tools to use and not why you're using them.

[@user-ellievator]

There is a much better way. I zoom in about 800% and adjust hue, saturation, and value on each individual pixel. It takes years, but there is no loss of detail.

[@vercingetorixavernian8978]

lol

[@sidrasohail758]

tutorial on that please :P

[@drsjamesserra]

A. Lincoln Hahaha

[@chrisjanuarywilliamson2010]

Can you link or upload a tutorial please?

[@BlackIceZa]

You work your way through 2 073 600 pixels in a normal HD image? :P

[@agoniavr]

This is one of the most common tasks in image manipulation but until Phlearn covers a topic I'm not satisfied regarding the informations I have about it. Thanks for yet another awesome video!

[@carolinadelaossa7383]

I take pictures (I not consider myself a photographer, kind of a hobbyist maybe) of classical music concerts and I really struggle with this things. First, because in my college they don't let you take pictures been really close to the stage because you can distract the artists and also the public, so since I didn't have a lot of money to buy a lens that would let me take pictures from a far, I buy a super zoom camera. Also, in classical music people tend to like more pictures with no motion what so ever so low shutter speed is not an option. Finally poor lighting and not able to use extra lights make it worst. This was really useful thank you.

I had 2 wedding images of a mother facing her daughter pulling on the veil and had to shoot it in such low light that I just couldn't get rid of the noise no matter what!!!! You just SAVED my wedding! (I tried LR too) I'm always telling folks about your channel...and I watch all your videos....their the BEST!!!!!

[@finnert9202]

they're*

[@Dornaden]

I literally today, came across this problem and was like damn, the reduce noise filter isnt enough. Thanks guy this is a real life saver for my shoot.

[@MarkusKretzschmarPhoto]

I liked the last step of reducing the opacity of the group. looked a little strange to me after all the filters. Bringing back a little bit of the noise seems more realistic. I would even go as far and say, that maybe only reducing the color noise makes it look more "analog grain-ish" which would also be a nice look, i guess. Thanks for the episode! This surface blur thing is genius!!

[@williamcolbert996]

I really appreciate this tutorial. Not only did you teach me about noise reduction, I learned about the ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed settings on my camera - something I was having issues with! Thank you!

[@Iamley]

Nice video and easy to understand. Thank you.

[@ts.wizard]

The results are amazing! Thank you!

[@johnforshee1416]

Thanks for sharing. I always like your tutorials.

[@sandrampillay2652]

Thank you Aaron. Will be using some of your techniques.

[@menioq.8740]

OMG I live the warm lights and feeling of this video!!!

[@nielsendc1]

Curious why so many "experts" are still saying ISO is the the sensitivity of the sensor. That's just false. And it doesn't matter if that helps people understand it, it's still incorrect. 1) ISO is camera model specific and isn't actually standardized despite being an acronym for International Organization for Standardization and 2) it is literally a post image multiplier of the pixel values. It has absolutely nothing to do with "sensitivity" of the sensor and saying that it does just propagates the misunderstanding. For those that want to explore this further check out Tony Northrups videos on ISO.

[@dragonarch0]

Great tutorial, worked like a charm.

[@TheKc2pxp]

Great job! I like how you explain the process in the beginning, giving us the 30,000 ft view, and how you do a quick overview summary at the end. It makes it helpful when we need to go back for a refresher on one of your lessons. Great work Phlearn!

[@TJHutchExotics]

Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@Jerbod2]

Great tutorial, I bet we'll live to see common cameras with ISO that doesn't add any noise up to great numbers.

[@EminoMeneko]

+Manny Calavera The tendency goes that way yes but I think I be dead before it happens.

[@mattdyce]

Applying a light smart sharpen at the very end often helps reduce and haloing or soft edges that may have come from the surface blur.

[@Jack_Schularick]

Aaron, the third angle of Exposure Triangle is not ISO but light. ISO is just post exposure gain regulation. Iso is not increasing sensor sensitivity cause this one is constant.

[@annalisa1080]

So so helpful!! Thank you so much!!😊

[@ChrisTomlinsonPastor]

Awesome. Your videos are so helpful. Thanks a million!

[@kacierfa]

i like the reduce noise one. the other day i found another way using the raw filter thing and it's pretty helpful almost similar to the reduce noise

[@gomezbr1]

You Phlearn something new everyday

[@johnnyhendarta8963]

Useful Tips ...... thanks

[@johngrady7390]

That is the best explanation of threshold that I have seen! Thanks for that.

[@estefaniagarzazavala2699]

Super usefull video! Thank you!

[@sandrampillay2652]

I like this video .Now I know how to work on old damaged photos. Thanks a lot for this tutorial.

[@celsopederi-celz4666]

Very helpful tutorial Aaron... Thanks man.

[@breppbrepp]

Learned alot this episode, thanks again Aaron

[@cazwilliams2681]

Hi Phlearn Photoshop and Photography Tutorials. I was wondering if you would do some reviews on camera equipment. I would love to see some budgets guides ( mainly on motorized dollys or cameras) would you be open for that?

[@Skitz1e_sub]

Thanks a lot my man! Keep up The amazing work!

[@gracielavazquez3899]

thanks Aaron ! really helpful your video

[@joyswizz]

great vid as usual. I want to restore my old grandparents wedding photo, their wedding pic is sooo old and even have cracked in the middle. Is there a way to retouch it? Would love to see if u can bring episode of restoring an old pictures.

[@AutumnMurder]

brilliant u guys thank you sooooooo much!

[@neutch1991]

Very good tutorial

[@MagnusG99]

I think it's better to reduce noise more selectively. Usually the noise more in your face in the shadows so I use "blend if" to be able to get more noise reduction in shadows and less in highlights. No I'm not good at English ;)

[@PR17TTT]

Awesome turorial, really learnt alot. Want to get into cameras and video making. Just dont know much about them

[@astomberg]

Video starts att around 3min.. Great video!

[@dimitreze]

nice video and channel!! ;)

[@Mr.G.Williams]

I think using the blend if function to reduce noise in darker areas only would be a great tutorial. There are others on KZbin but Phlearn would do a better presentation.

[@MagnumVideos]

Excellent video. That's going to help me a ton.

[@n1ckotene]

didn't know this until now - thank you!

[@novapondaag]

Thanks for explaining it so detail. This is the first video I found about reducing noise that I actually understand how and why we chose this and that function or %. Really helpful for a beginner like me

[@qqueuenstein5616]

Good explanation.

[@tsheposhai4423]

Can always trust that iam going to get good tips tricks and tips from you . Keep up the god work

[@adavis2813]

Terrific video Aaron! Probably the best explanation I've heard on aperture, shutter speed and ISO!

[@paulogonzalez1632]

Thank you so much for teaching. Thanks to your vídeo I was able to restore a picture which initially had halftone dots AND a lot of noise. Thank you so much for the noise removing explanation.

[@baryafe]

Nice tutorial! I liked the new angle of the room...

[@angelicachrysanthou2944]

Thank you for the tips, they should help a lot!

[@ricedeliverydrums]

Ahhh once again Phlearn saves me. Love the "in conclusion" stuff at the end too! Very helpful for when I forget part of the process and I just need a quick skim through! Keep up the good work.

[@cgcowboy]

FANTASTIC!

[@Confusionismism]

Love your tutorials. Usually find it hard to make it through whole tutorials but never have that problem with yours. Thanks for all the info!!

[@gleaken17]

Would adding a high pass filter after the de-noise steps work to return some of the detail and sharpness to the image?

[@TheTechyButterfly]

I use my subject Axeton. He is a year old and he's quite the model! I love my baby cousin.

[@talmadgemillerjr6430]

Mr. Phlearn your tutorial was awesome and very helpful. Very informative, easy to follow and fun to watch! Please continue to make more! They are truly a blessing! Pray all is well! grace and Peace!

[@norsmart75]

Very interesting !! Thank you so much

[@careylee5951]

Great info!

[@threeone6012]

Love it! Love it! Love it! Waiting for this one.

[@yongming85]

Perfect in photo touching tutorial. He is awesome, honest and great artistic! Keep moving ahead Phlearn!

[@Experienciasdelfuturo]

If you increase the dark on "LEVELS" or add more contrast, it looks great at all.

[@nickslens]

This is exactly what I'm looking for! Also, thanks for the little recap/quick version at the end!

[@SANKARSUMANASANSOL]

Very nice channel 👌 👌 👌 👌 👌 👌 👌

[@AhmedAli-lr4es]

Thank you very much.. I need your kind help to find a way to remove natural rain from any rainy landscape image ..

[@Kal3ido]

Yessss! shot a birthday party last minute and some of the photos have noise in it. Thank you!!!! New subbie.

[@Jack_Schularick]

Very informative, thank you.

[@prakashlee_]

hello phlearn we need some digital painting tutorials please do some tutorials on digital painting

[@MuhammadRafikBakhtshiren]

It's great, thanks!

[@lorrainemimnagh2479]

Thank you Aaron, I love your tutorials. They are not too long!! And you explain everything in a straight forward way..

[@davidmair3517]

This is a really good tutorial and does a good job of covering a couple of key techniques to reduce noise in post along with reminders to avoid noise in the first place. The suggestion to use the opacity is a good one also. I'd take it one step further and suggest adding a layer mask on the surface blur layer. I use that technique frequently for shot under the Friday night lights in the fall. It's great for reducing noise on flat surfaces like helmets, jerseys, skin, backgrounds and so forth but gives you an extra level of control over edges/transitions giving the appearance of sharpness. Enjoyed this one Aaron!

[@albertr915]

Nice! Good Episode.

[@michaeleicken3645]

Thank you Aaron, very helpful how to do it correctly !!!

[@adambrown6321]

Great tutorial, thank you!

[@mabeast502]

Thank you for sharing, not all hero’s wear capes!

[@kysersoze739]

*Is this method better than reducing noise in Camera Raw directly on the Raw file with the combination of Luminance Noise and then restoring detail with sharp mask?*

[@antakanguyen869]

+Kyser Soze I would say depends on the different images

[@aux_anges]

+Kyser Soze That doesn't address chroma noise, for one thing.

[@williansensui]

+Kyser Soze I was wondering exactly that!

[@ItsHannan]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpzdd5uPq62AhtU

[@LeBeautiful]

Threshold: Outer stopping points (prob do that first) Radius: How much of the effect you want (do that second) find the key balance for the best result!

[@esa2236]

Now we just need to photoshop you out of every NBA video. Thanks.

[@LeBeautiful]

Skid nah fam I'm good

[@KrizSykx]

awesome tutorial! I'm gonna try this!!!! It really helped me thanks!!!!!!

[@NikoTravels]

but how to sharpen properly when needing to reduce noise? should I still be doing a high pass method afterwards?

[@massetozacarias5693]

that concert looks fun

[@jpmissdeNice]

As most of the noise is visible in the darks I would mask the noise reduction in highlights using a luminosity mask on the noise reduction folder to preserve some details in the bright parts of the image. What do you think?

[@Frallassion]

Your tutorials are impressively usefull, than you so much!

[@cjyoung6065]

Thank you so much. This helped me actually understand what to do. I made my pic look awesome!! with your help. Thank you

[@yanirarivera6533]

Aaron I appreciate you papa.

[@NaveedAshraf]

Your Video Quality is Awesome, Excellent :)

[@VengoRegis]

Super cool

[@deineirasmith322]

Just like magic. Had to subscribe after that

[@Fltwin1]

What would we do w/o Mr. Nace?? Thanks for this tutorial!!!

[@mostafafarweez3161]

Thank you 😊 This is exactly what I was looking for 👍👍👍 Great Tutorial and really helped me A lot ❤ Love your tutorials 😊👍💖

[@ADivaForLife]

Thank you Thank You!!, question? Do I have to do this for each picture after I do one? Or after one can it do a batch save all?

[@DarkAngel-qz3xl]

Thank you for this nice tip with the surface blur, it's amazing what you did with this image. I also like your new position of the table in the Phlearn office and the warm lighting. Anna 18 years, Germany

[@belalsoliman2687]

Hello Aaron, your video helped me alot .. But here's my question If i already used the luminance option in Camera RAW settings, do i still need to do these steps in the video ? and, which method is better ?

[@neondreams2337]

My quick and dirty solution when working in camera raw is adding luminance and then adjusting the mask and sharpening to add detail back

[@tristansteiner6727]

Hi, love your channel. I haven't tested this yet, and I will later and try to chime back in here... Do you know if this will work with video files by converting to a smart object (as the camera raw filter does)? Many thanks, could be an interesting effect...

[@tristansteiner6727]

+Tristan Steiner I tested this and it does work for video. Convert the clip to a smart object, as you would when applying any other filter (camera raw, etc). Thanks

[@imagecollections6665]

Great video. I'm using ps to restore old movie posters and sell them.

[@flukejoblo]

thank you kind sir, I sincerely appreciate all your tutorials.

[@mikeparker9812]

My Canon 60D is terrible for noise so I try not to go above 200 to 250. But I've been shooting a tank display today and it was very overcast. I was using quite a high apature, around f8 to f11, so I had to use high ISOs, 1600 at one point. So thanks for this, I'm going to give it a try now,

[@yojoeo9067]

Raptor Mike Thanks for this comment I was thinking of getting a 60D but maybe not now...

[@mikeparker9812]

yojoe O It's an awesome camera otherwise. Maybe it's just me being a bit OCD. But to be fair it is quite dated now, from what I've read the new cameras are amazing at high ISO.

[@adanedhelbg]

Surface blur FTW :) Great tutorial

[@gerardbellouard9696]

apart from the blur technique, how does that compare to lightroom?

[@jenimarieable]

Thank you for the video! You're a very good teacher!

[@jessedbs7230]

Your channel is awesome. So glad I found it, I've learned everything I know from this channel!
