Yesterday, I showed off a little of what Lightroom 3’s noise killing prowess could do. And then, I started looking back at some of my basketball photos from this season, most of which were shot at ISO 3200. Some of them could use a little help from Lightroom 3’s noise reduction panel; however, some looked just fine, even with a little bit of grain. [Read more…]

Merge to HDR Pro in Photoshop CS5
While perusing Adobe TV tonight, I ran across this nice tutorial on using the Merge to HDR Pro feature in Photoshop CS5. In the 10-minute video, Julieanne Kost provides a pretty basic overview of HDR and then digs into the meat of the Merge to HDR Pro feature. In the last couple of minutes of the video, she shows off the power of HDR Toning if you just have a single image to work with. If you’ve been thinking about trying HDR with CS5, this should get you up to speed rather quickly.
If the embedded video above isn’t working for some reason, you can also find the video over at Adobe TV.
Restoring Torn Photos in Photoshop
I caught this great tutorial earlier today from Matt Kloskowski on restoring torn photos with Photoshop. In it, he takes a photo that’s torn in half and does a super quick fix that looks pretty darn good. If you’ve ever tried to fix an old photo before and don’t know this trick, you’ll appreciate it.
