Happy Dog

This is our dog Akamaru. This picture was noisy despite being beautiful, so I applied noise reduction, but result was not satisfactory, therefore I applied some filters in Photoshop CS3.

I first applied "Glowing Edges" then added another layer of "Grayscale" and finally used a bit of "Unsharp Mask" to bring out details.

He looks funny, especially the way his ears are up. I use NR in the camera software, Nikon Capture NX in my case, and that seems to work better than PS NR (supposedly the camera maker does a better job of reducing noise on their own cameras). However, I don't get much NR before the image looks worse than without NR --this equates to a limit of about 20% NR with my software.

@Twelvebit: Unfortunatly my Canon does not have any thing of that sort. The noise generated is mostly to user error (me), and that does not happen a lot.

Thanks for dropping by.
