I just wrote a twenty page walk-through for a photograph from noisy original to finished retouch. I used the Imagenomic suite of tools: Noiseware, Portraiture, and Real Grain.

This is a coaching session. So it's like looking over my shoulder and getting commentary as I work on the photo. (You can even see where I had to go back and start again to avoid a slight color smear.)

Comments will be sincerely appreciated.

I want to thank Kelly Chamberlain (aka Redcrown) for the photo used in this example. It's an ISO 6400 shot with a Canon 5D MkII. Come watch as it ends up looking almost like it was shot at ISO 100. (For the uninitiated, that's almost six stops of noise reduction).

There both an HTML and PDF version. The .PDF will be faster and gentler on the server. ;)

Enjoy!
