- I often get asked how I get such clean images at high ISOs and in this video I will show you. Firstly it's important to understand some key things about ISO, noise and your camera's performance. Then I'll go on to show you three different methods of noise reduction. This includes my method of fixing even the most difficult and noisy photos.

Hi Dan, thanks for watching.
Awesome. A belted kingfisher. I’ve always wanted to see one - we don’t get them natively over here. And it’s looking so clean. Great work, well done Dan. I hope you don’t mind but I’m going to pin your comment so that other people can see your effort.
@@WalksOnTheWildSide sure no problem

This video Did more for me in 40 minutes than i have learned in 10 years of watching other videos
Hi Ray. That's very kind, I'm glad to be helpful. Thank you for watching.
Sorry but I had to reply comment too I hope you both don’t mind. It is great to get a fresh way of thinking when it comes to processing isn’t it Ray. Scott is great and I love his way of presenting this. A lot of other photographers won’t give you this much information without being part of a paywall, more credit to Scott
Very nice of you to say that, thank you James.
Indeed, not an exaggeration, very detail and consolidated explanation
Same here
There was a method I used to do with my old point and shoot and old phone camera because they produced a lot noise and didn't have manual mode. I would keep my camera very still and shoot in burst, creating like 10+ images of the same scene. I would take those images and stack them into 1 Photoshop project. I might want to select all the layers and auto align them just to be safe. With all of them selected, I would then convert them into 1 smart object. I would go to the top of my screen and select Layer > Smart Objects > Stack Mode > Mean and this will blend all the images together. Because the noise location differs from one image to the next, blending them will smooth out the image as if there is no noise at all
Hi Some Guy. Yes that's a great method - it's what astro photographers do because they have to shoot at such high ISOs. It doesn't often work with wildlife, because the subjects rarely stay still long enough, but a great tip anyway. Thanks for watching.
This is by far the best de-noise tutorial out there. And I’m watching and searching for years. Thank you, this is treasure 👍
Wow, thank you. I'm so happy to hear that and glad I can be of help. Thanks for watching.
For years, I’ve been so scared to shoot photos at night due to high iso and getting grain in photos, but after watching this video and getting all this information I’m now excited to go out at night and take some test shots/edit them. Thank you so much! 😊
Hi Kay. Great stuff, give it a go. Glad you found it helpful and thanks for watching.
I have been scared taking photos at night for other reasons … 🤣
Now this is the kind of video I crave for when I want to learn something. Highly detailed, well explained, and no BS. Learned quite a lot from it. Thank you so much for such top notch video!
Wow, thank you. I'm so happy to hear that and glad I can be of help. Thanks for watching.
The Alt key and sliders blew my mind. This has been the best explanation of noise and sharpening I've ever seen. Thank you!
Thanks Michael - yes it's one of those weird features of Lightroom that you just couldn't guess was there unless you already knew. Thanks for watching.
@@WalksOnTheWildSide While I knew about the Alt key (it was revealed to me in one of those initial guides in the new Lightroom, or Lightroom Cloud as it's known), until now I didn't really know how to make the best use of it and what exactly am I looking at, so thanks for explaining that. So far I managed to make use of the masking slider which is the most noticeable, but the other two were a bit elusive as to how much is too much, or too little for that matter.
But this multilayered approach with the power of Topaz truly shines.
came here to say the same!! thank you for this information, ive been trying to get my photos to look great that were taken at high ISO!
Scott you’re a national treasure mate…this was awesome
You're making me blush - but glad it was useful. Thanks for watching.
This just popped up in my recommended videos, now I see I’ve been doing my noise reduction wrong for the past 13/14 years. I will subscribe and look for more tutorials so I can learn more.
This is an outstanding description of how to deal with noise, must be the best on TH-cam hands down.
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this, I bet it took ages
😎
Thanks. Glad it was useful. You're right, it did take a while to put it together, but I was keen to have it all in one video, so people can get the most out of it. Thanks for watching.
Very rare these days that a photo tutorial show me something I don't know, but I actually learned a lot from this!
If I'm being honest, I don't mind luminance noise in most images. I usually just stick to chroma reduction since that barely affects sharpness, and I'll even put more grain on top if the luma noise is high. I'll have to keep these tips in mind though if I really want to clean something up.
Thanks, pleased it's helpful. Thanks for watching.
Best noise explanation video and noise editing explanation video so far on TH-cam! Thank you
Glad it was useful and thanks for watching.
truly this one of the most amazingly educational videos i have watched ever about photography . many thanks
Happy to help. Thanks for watching.
HOLY MOLY! I thought I was the only one using layers to reduce noise especially with nighttime photography. But this was an Excellent job of explaining the process and methodology. You've gained a subscriber. Thank you!
Excellent. Glad to hear there are others out there doing this too. Thanks for watching.
There are so many photo videos online that don't teach you anything new, but from time to time, you find one like this one! So helpful and clear! I learned so many useful tips in such a small video. Thank you !
Wow, thank you. I'm so happy to hear that and glad I can be of help. Thanks for watching.
This is the most comprehensive noise reduction video I've ever seen. Just in time for me to edit some wedding dance images with way too high ISO. Thank you for your detailed upload. I'll have to investigate your channel further.
Hi Darian. Wow that's a lot of pressure to get wedding photos right. I hope it all went well for you. Please feel free to check out the other videos, but it's all wildlife, macro and landscapes - I wouldn't dare try to photograph a wedding - you've got my respect for that.
@@WalksOnTheWildSide It's not bad but my 2nd camera is a 5Dmkiii so it gets noisy as I bring up shadows. This tutorial helped me immensely. Just watched some of your macro videos and the high key stuff was astonishing!
it blew my mind how much i didnt know about ISO and noise... so good video, so informative, THANK YOU.
Hi Jabb. Glad its helpful. Thanks for watching.
This was the most amazing presentation. I've been working with Topaz DeNoise a lot, but your masking approach is so superior and makes so much sense. You are my new, favorite youtuber....I will be following your work very closely in the future!
Wow, that's very kind, thank you Thomas. And thanks for watching.
A fantastically logical, well thought out video as usual, treat to watch and learn from. Thanks!
Thank you very much, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Can I say, "I love you, Man" without getting too personal? At 1minute in, I said "thank the lord". Reason: I'm an amateur photographer that hasn't been shooting more than a few years. After the first year, I did a ton of reading (and still do). I could tell people more about OSPDAF systems then they care to hear. I've heard far too many professional photographers (with TH-cam Channels) who will frequently state that ISO is part of the exposure triangle - and as you say - that turning up ISO increases your camera's /sensor's sensitivity to light - which it absolutely does not. Now before I sound like I don't understand the point they are making, I do. One even told me "I do it just to keep things simple and not confuse people". Sheesh. So thank you for keeping it real, even for those that fail to understand. You can turn up the volume of sound (after recording) increases the gain (noise) of music as well....but some how in photography's digital age, this basic fact of ISO increasing gain / noise of light that has already been recorded (based solely on transmissibility of light through the lens and shutter speed seems to be elusive for many. Thank you. Your explanation is much appreciated. Well done! (Just an aside: I do believe back in the film days it was technically called ISO, but ASA - different standards governing body, but the point your making is spot on). Brilliant break down and the best video I've seen on the subject. I'm now a big fan! ...and now that I completed watching the video, You, my friend, totally ROCK!
Thanks so much. I really appreciate it. I just believe that anyone who creates content with an aim to educate has a duty to make it understandable, not to alter the meaning. So, sometimes that means my videos are a bit longer than others, but I hope they are more helpful. So I'm going to send some love back and say thanks for watching - it's people like yourself who make this worthwhile.
@@WalksOnTheWildSide Thank you as well, and just FYI, I've sent your video to several photographers as a "IF YOU DO NOTHING ELSE, THIS IS A MUST WATCH". I did think up a few topics that might make future videos (you are so good at breaking things down) - including does "Compression" of longer focal lengths really exist or why in APSC cameras, you have to factor in the "crop" factor to focal length and aperture. A concept that seems to elude many. I'll try and write some down for consideration. Thank you again. It was an excellent video and well worth the time and the watch.
Scott, Fantastic job. The best I've seen on the net. In addition, explained in a simple, concise and intelligent way. Bravissimo!
Glad it was helpful. thanks for watching.
Scott, this is brilliant. I never would have thought of doing that. I am planning to change my workflow to incorporate it!
Hi Philip. Glad it's helpful. Thanks for watching.
Wow, this is a ‘must watch’ for every digital photographer; there’s so much misconceptions that you’ve cleared up in this one video. Thanks for sharing👍🏼👍🏼 Subbed😄
Hi Philip. I'm pleased it is helpful. Thanks for watching.
One of the best tutorials I've ever watched. Thank you for this.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
Wow I can't believe I've never seen one of your videos before. They're all of such excellent quality. I got here because of the algorithm so I can only think that you'll get a large influx of subscribers and views from this video
Hi Lennard. Wow, thank you. I'm so happy to hear that and glad I can be of help. Thanks for watching.
Very good. I am just beginning bird photography (75 years old but still going strong!) with an old Canon t3i---600D--and a Canon 55-250 lens. So, I'm limited. But before I invest in a more appropriate quality telephoto lens I want to learn as much as I can. Your videos are extremely helpful. Very well presented and understandable. Thank you. (Also, I like that you get right to the topic and don't have a lot of blah-blah before the lesson.)
Hi James. That's great to hear, I hope your introduction to bird photography is going well and you're getting lots of nice images. Thanks for your comment and for watching.
Lesgooooo James! Very nice!
Greetings from Germany
Nicely done.... probably the most comprehensive tutorial on noise reduction I have ever seen....
amazingly surprised by the fact that I was aware of most of the content, still was able to gain from it, I generally shoot at base ISO with controlled lighting and usually don’t have to deal with much noise issues, I have used photoshop layers magic for 25 years on this occasion it was the case of adding 2+2 to get to 4.
As they say you never stop learning.....
Hi Nilo. Glad you liked it and could still learn a little, even with your experience. Thanks for watching.
Thank you! This is the best and most comprehensive video on noise reduction I've ever seen, a coffee for you, mate!
Thank you very much for the super thanks. And it will definitely be spent on a coffee. I'm glad you found the video useful.
best explanation in human language I've seen thank you very much
I'm glad you found it useful, thanks for watching.
A long video, Scott, but I stayed with it and pleased I did. Just started using a Z9 and I had already learned about it’s ISO invariance and so now avoid ISO levels between 100 and 500. 500 is my default unless I’m doing landscapes with a tripod. Not every image is worth the time you put into the kingfisher shot but the photoshop technique is very interesting and one day I’ll give it a try! I have LR, PS and Denoise so your advice is very helpful. Many thanks.
Thanks Geoff. Yes, I wouldn't want to use the payers method for every photo. But it has saved me from having to discard photos quite a few times. So it's a good technique to have in your back pocket. Thanks for watching.
Hi Scott,
I am a bird photographer and noise is very important especially when I go to a rainforest or overcast conditions. I have been looking for a possibility to test run the fact on my Z9.
Starting from ISO 64 to 10.000, I have captured series of photos with same aperture (7,1) (500mm f4 Lens) and changed only the shutter in every step to provide the same white balance on the photo-series. Btw I can share the results.
- According to the diagram there are two important points to focus :
1- The noise level on ISO100 and ISO500 looks to be the same as nearly 1,45
2- The noise level on ISO400 and ISO2000 looks to be the same as nearly 3,35
Of course we are not able to test and prove with special devices but can make our own test to compare.
The results are unfortunately not like in the diagram.
Comparing photos taken in ISO 400 to ISO600, There is significantly more noise in ISO 600 than ISO400. When continued to compare with ISO 800 and the above, getting relatively more noises in every step that I go above. I can only agree "the noise in ISO 500 is slightly less then ISO 400". This is a good news for z9 users. At least one step gain is someting in hand.
Comparing ISO400 to ISO 2000 is almost not possible and the results are far different like day and night. For sure 400 is much cleaner and with lesser noise. Although the diagram confirms to be the same but is not the fact and the case indeed.
Of course the information and the data source you shared is defending an important argument. I agree it has a value of a news to share.
But in the same way, such individual tests that we could make at home should also confirm and prove the argument issued.
Above are my tests and my realities vs the website's information.
On the other side if it was really correct, why would manufacturer NIKON give the options between ISO 500 to1600 as there would be more noise than ISO400. They would immediatly jump from ISO400 to 2000 in the settings. That would make sense.
I can not blame the website for the other cameras. But Z9 is the highest available top level series of NIKON. It is extremely important and I respect you did right to share. If possible in your convenience, I would definitely respect to your tests to compare and share with us if possible. To be honest it took me only half an hour to put things together and compare.
I am taking all the information you are sharing extremely important and serious. So grateful that you are sharing and posting all.
All the best.
Thank you once again Scott.
Hi Mustafa. I really doubt that the website is wrong. The Nikon Z9 has been out a long time now and if the results were wrong someone would have spotted it before. There was another person who claimed the results were wrong (you can find their comments elsewhere on this video) and I spent a long time helping them. It turned out the website was right all along. You can also search online for something like "Nikon Z9 dual gain" and they will all confirm that the switch in noise performance happens at ISO 500. I've just done this and there are countless websites that confirm the results are correct, but none that confirm your results are correct. The most likely explanation for your results is that you have something switched on in your camera that is affecting the results. You might have in-camera noise reduction switched on - this would definitely affect the results. Dynamic range optimisation (or D-Range, or DRO) also needs to be off. Basically switch off anything that does anything automatically in your camera as it may affect the results. Even then, I'm not sure what the specification is for photos that can be used to test this. You would need to ask the guy who runs the photons to photos website. Sorry, I can't carry out the tests that you've asked for at the moment - I'm really busy at the moment, but I hope this response helps.
This is by FAR the best tutorial about sharpness, noise and noise reduction, I've seen so far !
Wow, thank you. I'm so happy to hear that and glad I can be of help. Thanks for watching.
I don't know man. I don't know what to say... I saved this yesterday for later watch and I've just got home from an indoor events where I shoot lots of high ISO (capped at 6400 for my D700). I only own a cheap 24-85mm 3.5-4.5 from Nikon (still working on the faster 2.8) but cause of that I had to endure the high ISO.
Man watching this is opened a complete new horizon for me, I also found out that NX Studio is FREE (I installed it a while ago to see if I can install a driver for my D700 so I can tether it with LR but it didn't work out maybe the cable is faulty.
But this is simply gonna make most if not all of my thousand photos go wild
Wow, thank you for such a lovely comment. I'm really happy that this is useful to you. Thanks for watching.
Most of the time noise is not as big of an issue as over exposed areas and lack of dynamic range in digital image files. Contrary to SLR cameras using film, DSLR cameras picks up details in darker areas better than brightly lit areas so I always shoot at -0.5 stop; slightly under-exposed. While this leads to slightly noisier photos, it also gives the added benefit of slightly shorter shutter times and hopefully sharper images as all my shots are handheld of things that move.
I think some noise in images are fine, its part of the art. All the images in this video are totally fine without noise reduction, and you could probably produce fairly large prints from them and nobody would care about the existing noise. And thats the key: those you share them with enjoys your art without worrying about technical stuff. You, the photographer may perceive problems with the noise, but for everybody else it is a non-issue until you really cant make out anything. Life is too short to eradicate all noise in photos . This video shows some really great methods to reduce a lot of noise, but for most images, blown out areas leaves you nothing to work with. Where these methods may really come into play are if you are trying to resurrect old photos; digital photos from the 90s or 35mm film scans etc. You'd be surprised how noisy or rather grainy 100ISO film was, even when perfectly exposed.
Hi Peter, I've no issues with that. Noise is matter of personal taste. In fact, I notice a lot of the youngsters adding in noise and grain artificially to try and replicate the film look. Personally I like to reduce as much of the noise as I can. It's not about other people's perceptions of my photos - it's just my personal preference. Each to their own, and I totally respect if you like to have some noise in your images. Thanks for watching.

Thank you
Hi Valedmar. Glad it was helpful. Thank you for watching.
Your method of teaching works brilliantly for me. I've always needed to know how and why and sometimes experts speed through the details or skip the why. I will watch this over and over until I get it committed to memory. Thanks!
Thank you so much. I'm glad its useful. Thanks for your lovely comment and for watching.
This was a superb video, thank you so much. I'm looking forward to trying out some of these methods.
Fantastic tutorial!
I'm glad you found it useful, thanks for watching.
All I have to say is WOW! One of the best explanations of iso and how to clean it up. I've been doing photography as a hobby for the past 25 years and you've just made my day! Taking the Z9 out for birding in a few hrs and will have to try your method for cleaning up some of those dirty pics. Thank You.
Hi Daniel. Excellent. I'm happy to help and I hope you're getting some great photos with that Z9. Thanks for watching.
Brilliant video!
Haven’t finished watching it but have already learnt so very much.
Much appreciated Robin. Thanks for watching.
Wow this is such a good explanation and it tough me so much. The pacing of the video is great, never boring and never so that I couldn't keep up...

Great and detailed explanation on noise. Thankyou for taking your time to do this vid.
My pleasure, thanks for watching.
Amazing in-depth methodology. Thank you very much.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
This is a gem of a video!! Thanks for sharing this valuable information.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
You got to love videos explaining the science behind it, till today i never figured out how the noise reduction in lightroom worked and would just apply sharpness and masking without the color noise and luminence noise reduction. And even if i applied i didn't know how much to apply. I have just gotten into wildlife photography and this video just solves so much of the problems that arise with high iso imaging. simple and greatly done! thank you!
Happy to help. Thanks for watching.
Properly explained, I wish I knew this before I had edited 1300 photos from my honeymoon to Africa. Even just understanding the details of denoise an sharpening in lightroom at this level of detail is a game changer on its own. Congratulations, best video on noise reduction
Wow, thank you. I'm so happy to hear that and glad I can be of help. I hope it wasn't too painful editing all those photos, but I bet you got some amazing photos and memories. Congratulations on your wedding. Thanks for watching.
Just wanted you to know, your video is the first video that provided step by step instructions, that made sense for me in dealing with noise in my photos. I really appreciate you sharing you knowledge on this. It will make a world of different in my photo editing process and the quality of my photos going forward.
Hi Bernie. I'm happy I could be helpful. Thanks for watching.
Scott, fantastic video! Very informative with very practical advice about dealing with digital noise and sharpness. I am subscriber now and will follow you closely and I will recommend your channel to my friends. Thank you very much! Now on to discover the gems on your other videos!
