DeNoising - You’re Doing it Wrong

AI denoising tools have revolutionised photography over the past five years, but are we using them correctly? This comprehensive guide breaks down how to optimise your noise reduction approach based on your output destination. In this video, I expose the dirty secret of noise reduction—most photographers are applying the same settings regardless of whether their images are destined for Instagram, professional portfolios, or gallery prints. Learn why this one-size-fits-all approach is robbing your images of their natural character and how to tailor your workflow for each medium. Stop cranking your AI denoiser to 11 and discover why context is everything in noise reduction. Whether you're using DxO DeepPRIME, Adobe Lightroom, Topaz Photo AI or Capture One Pro, this guide will transform your approach to creating images that look their best in any format.
