Adobe Photoshop is a registered trademark of Adobe Systems Incorporated and I am in
no way affiliated with Adobe. Okay, so in this tutorial I'm going to help you get rid
of a lot of the noise and we're going to blur even more this reflection. So if we click
down on actual orth we click down on this magnifying glass or even up here where it
says actual pixels. If we double click, it's going to bring us to a hundred percent. Now
this is the kind of print we're going to get. This is what's it's going to look like. But
if you come down here on the body of the dog where it's blurry, you can tell that there's
a lot of noise especially on this flip area right here and there's a lot of noise over
here up here in this back area because of my camera. It's not completely noise free.
So to get rid of these noise, what I like to do is do something, it's just kind of weird
and I don't think too many people do this, but I do it all the time 'cause it looks really,
really good. What you want to do is you want to do command and control G on PC to copy
the background layer. As you see we just did, now we got two backgrounds. We go the one
that's in-focus, the very top one; and the one that's on the bottom which is in focus
as well. But what we're going to do is we're going to make this bottom layer, we're going
to make it out of focus by going up to filter, noise and median. Now, what I want to do is
I want to, you can actually preview in this dialog box right here, as you can see without
the, you can see with or without, when I click you can see what it looks like with out the,
the median noise on there. And if I undo it, look how much noise goes away. So I'm going
to hit okay. Now what you're going to do is you want to go up to your top layer and you
want to click on the layer mass, but, which I just did right there, as you can see. And
it gives us this little mass right here. Now what you're going to do is you got a paintbrush
over here and make sure that your color is on black. Now we can paint anywhere we want
to get rid of all that noise, as you can see I just did. And you want to make sure your
brush hardness is really light and your opacity can be a hundred percent or eighty percent,
whatever. But it, what you can do is you can go over anything that looks a little noisy
and anything that you don't want to be in focus. For instance, you're not going to paint
on his eyes, and all we're doing is painting on this mass. If I zoom in for you, you can
see that black, that is what we have painted. So I'm going to go along his foot and I'm
just going to paint along the edges that I don't want to be in focus. 'Cause the main
focus of the photograph is the dog's face. So a lot of this areas over here I want to
be noise-free. So we're just cleaning up the picture at the moment. And I like to give
this to my picture just so I don't have to print somewhat a whole bunch cleaner. And
the difference between using this and gaussian blur is this actually takes away noise rather
than brings noise. A lot of times that gaussian blur just brings a whole bunch of noise and
just makes your picture look a little funky sometimes. So by doing this we can actually
get rid of a whole bunch of noise and you might even want to go over your reflection
with this. Okay. So now we have our picture at a hundred percent and I can actually show
you what it'll look like without the noise, without the noise there. So as you can see
that's before and that's after. So it looks a whole bunch better. And now we have resolve
a picture that is almost noise free, looks clean and we're almost done with our picture
here, but we're still going to move along with the different steps I have to actually
finish the photograph.
