Noise is one of the most annoying things that happen when we take photos. Noise often occurs when you take photos in low light conditions or when the sensitivity setting (ISO) setting is too high.
In the following article, TipsMake.com teaches you how to remove noise in Photoshop and bring a better quality picture. Please read along.
1. Remove noise in Photoshop manually
Step 1: You open the image to remove noise in Photoshop. Next you go to menu Image => Mode => Lab Color to convert the image system to Lab Color .
Step 2: If you do not have the Channels tool , go to Window => Channels to turn it on.
Step 3: Click the Channels tool and click Lightness .
Step 4: Go to menu Filter => Noise => Despeckle to smooth the image.
Step 5: You continue to menu Filter => Noise => Reduce Noise .
And then you set the image levels so that the noise decreases and the picture looks smoother. After setup is complete you click OK to complete.
Step 6: Go to menu Filter => Blur => Gaussian Blur .
Next, set the Radius to 0.5 - 1 Pixels to make the image smoother. This feature has the main effect of blurring the image, so setting the Radius too high will cause the image to be blurred and blurred.
Step 7: So we have finished photo editing. You go to menu Image => Mode => RGB Color to convert the color system to RGB is done.
Once completed you can compare with the original photo. Although it doesn't eliminate noise completely, the image looks sharper and much less noise. In the image below, the original image is on the left and the edited image is on the right.
