NEXT PACS MEETING: November 19, 11:00 am in the Scenic Room
Greetings, all!
Please forgive me for not updating our site in a timely manner, but here I am finally getting around to it.
We spent most of the time at our October meeting trying to correct an image that was taken in too dark of circumstances, and from too great a distance from the subject matter.
The results are always the same: Grainy shots. If you are close enough to the subject matter, a flash can be your savior. But if you are too far away from the subject, a flash just won’t reach.
The images were sent in by SIG member Marjorie Sears. We chose one and we did our best to fix it. Our best, however, was only enough to improve it, but not fix it. After cropping it, we tried Dust and Scratches, Despeckle, Median, Reduce Noise (which seemed to give the best results because the noise could be edited in each individual color channel) and by placing the edited image on a layer above the original and trying various blending modes. Darken only seemed to improve the image.
Both the before and after of Marjorie’s image have been placed in our member gallery, along with an image by Jack Weinstein. Check them out…
See you on November 19th!
Marty
