How do I reduce the noise from high ISO taken pics?

Question

I use Cybershot DSC-T10 and everytime I use very high ISO (1000), the noise produced in the pic was just unbearable. How do I reduce this? or what kind of editing should I do to reduce noise?

BTW, here's my gallery www.moochangers.deviantart.com

Answer 1

The only way around it would be to use a lower ISO and have your camera mounted on a tripod to reduce blur from camera movement.

Answer 2

use whatever editing you want, i would throw them away - a hard edit...............buy and use a tripod, dont shoot slower than iso200 if you can, use lights, use flash

EDIT: fuzzy train does it for me, the imperfections add to the aged look, the tilt is pleasing also, i think its outstanding,



the usuage of 1000iso on the tool you have is questionable thats why i was blunt in my first answer,

conceptual is cool, also the gucci has potential, both suffer a bit in the exposure area, the flash flare on the bottom of the gucci is distracting, the conceptual lacks definition for my liking - could just be me, more fuzzy trains with better texture in the highlights and shadows would be pleasing, tmax would do it ok or even some gritty 1600 b + w - sorry that was film talk, the tool your using try to use 100 mostly for the source image and add grain (which is a film quality not digital) in photoshop of the like - post production

Answer 3

The higher ISO emulates the larger grains of higher speed films. The only way around the "grain" is to shoot at a lower ISO, and compensate with some other controls, such as wider aperture, or slower shutter speed.

Answer 4

There are cameras that do better that higher ISOs. You could get a digital camera with better performance in low light. I've been happy with the Fujifilm Finepix F10 because it has a bigger sensor than most other compact digital cameras.

Answer 5

I just found out about a plug-in called GEM for photoshop. From the example on the site, it looks like it does a great job at noise reduction. I think they have a free trial download too.

Good Luck :)

Answer 6

Perhaps your camera has a "noise reduction" filter that can be varied. You lose some detail as it smooths things out, but you also lose some of the noise artifact. Mine has this...

Answer 7

There are noise filters in Photoshop. If this is not enough you can use Noise Ninja.
