I don't find the noise reduction does much in PE4. Comments are welcomed. Crituque welcome. Appreciate Suggestions

Hi Jerry...

Just need to move the feeder closer to you, is all...:G

I usually use Neat Image for the intrusive noise... For this image, you might try the free version of Focus Magic. To my eye, it looks like you have a bit of more focus on the feeder than the Cardinal. I've also found that the use of Focus Magic seems to also give a bit of sharpening effect to the images, as well...

I ran your reduced image through FM at 2-Pixels at 100% and did seem to help the sharpness a bit... What'cha think?

Looks good Jerry. My suggestion is keep taking and posting photos. I enjoy seeing them

Telecorder thanks for the suggestion. I will look into Neat Image. Is this a packaged software that I can pick up at Best Buy or a download. I did download FM free version, but need to register and pay for it. About to run out of free tries.

Roger, thank you for your comments. Always enjoy your series on the Ospreys. Whoa, FedEx is delivering my new FX01 right now, but I think the wife is confiscating. Here we go again!!:P

Oh, No... the wife beat you to it!?

www.neatimage.com has a free demo version that can be used as a stand alone for free...

To me, the FM is well worth the $$... and has a plugin for PSE4

Thanks, Tele, Going to try them.

P. S. She has finally agree to let me use the camera, but only when she isn't? Funny, I am the one that wanted it. She has already ordered a spare battery and had a case for it.

:GThe shame of it all... Next you know she'll be wanting to post her images...

I don't about her posting, but I will know where to look for the camera. It will be where ever she is. She thinks it cute.
