grainy photos with high ISO-help?

[terrtwins]

Is there a way to fix this in Digital Photo Professional? I tend to get a grainy picture if I bump the ISO up to 1600, even 100o at times. tia.

Sorry, I don't know anything about digital photo pro. There are some trial versions of noise reduction software out there you want to try, though. I can't remember which of them have trial versions, so you'll have to google "photo noise reduction software"

I use Noise Ninja for Photoshop, but most of them have a stand alone version too. NeatImage is another popular one.

They will help.

Just out of curiosity, What camera are you using?

usually people will run the images through a noise reduction plugins like Noise Ninja or Grain Surgery...

I dont think you can effectively reduce grain in photoshop alone...

In DPP you can set the noise adjustment levels by going to "Tools", "Preferences", then choose the "General Settings" tab. The noise reduction settings are in the middle of the window. There is no way to adjust noise in individual pictures, it will apply the same noise reduction settings to each picture until you change the settings again.

Box, Im using the 30D, primarily with the Canon 85 mm f/1.8 lens.

Thanks to everyone for the info!

I'll bet your hi ISo looks better than mine. You probably know this, but if they're underexposed even a little at hi iso, you'll see a lot more noise than a spot on exposure.

Noise Ninja rox. I just loaded it a few days ago and have been going through some older shots that were kind of noisy. They aren't noisy anymore.

Any tutorials out there on Noise Ninja? I have played around with it and am 95% satisfied.

They hide them rather well on their site.

Yes it does. This morning, I purchased the SA/PI version, ran it on some ISO 1600 shots taken the other night with my XT, and am very happy with the results. Although I used the camera profile default settings, I'll be learning how to use other NN features to get even better results.
