Fixing noise in lightroom 1.3

I have taken some photos and they are all noisy I was just wondering if there was a way that I would be able to fix this problem using lightroom. (im new to both photography and lightroom so Im a bit of an all round newbi). Please if you could share some advice as to how you would approach dealing with a noisy photo whether it be lightroom, photoshop or just binning it I would really appreciate the advice.

That image should clean up with the noise reduction in Lightroom too since it is not very sharp anyway although not as good as the third-party tools but probably good enough. Since it is a jpeg Lightroom does not do any standard noise reduction, so you'll have to dial it up. Judging from the picture it should be able to take 100 on both Luminance and Chroma, but you should try it out. Something like Neat Image or Noise Ninja will probably clean it up completely but that will cost you extra.

  • RAW nikon files have huge Chroma Noise in Lightroom

    How come when you process Nikon D3 NEF files in Lightroom it brings out Chroma noise and almost covers up all the luminance noise when importing the file without applying any preset?
    When I open the same file in Adobe photoshop CS3 or in Capture NX2, the file contains almost no Chroma noise, but is dominated with luminance noise. I prefer luminance noise over chroma noise since it is forgivable on prints.
    Luminance noise is that grainy tiny colorless black dots, and Chroma noise is that large rainbow color big dots. They are especially visible in grayish or dark areas.
    Anyone know why this is happening to me in Lightroom 2?
    Thanks

    "Lee Jay - 10:42am Aug 15, 08 PST (#21 of 26)
    but when I try that image in noiseninja I get a result close to the capture result - far better than Lightroom.
    Does NoiseNinja process raw images?"
    Apparently Lee it does. I have pasted below a reply from Bibble to a similar discussion in another forum. So technically it is possible, but LR and Aperture choose not to implement raw plugins at this time.
    "There are many things that are better done in the full raw image processing pipeline that can't be done as well after the conversion....Noise being just one example. It has nothing to do with being a tiff or not, thats just another inconvenience.
    All the plugins that I just pointed you too work within the confines of the raw pipeline. They don't require additional steps, the don't need intermediate files, they are non destructive, and generally they will give better results then plugins or external editors run after the conversion.
    For the moment, AFAIK, Bibble is the only program that allows such plugins, and they offer great quality , flexibility and workflow.

  • Nikon P7100 noise in Lightroom

    I uploaded the Camera Raw update for a new Nikon P7100 to Lightroom 3 on Mac 10,7,4, but when the pics come up they're extremely noisy. When converted from RAW to jpg the noise remains.
    No problem with JPGs. Same pics from the camera in RAW are fine on the Nikon viewer, so it seems to be a Lightroom mismatch.  
    Any advice?

    From my experience, it's not a miss-match. But most of the time, camera applied some level of noise reduction into the file. Thus the preview image or the jpg out of camera will look fine. LR just discards most of the camera setting in the raw image. So you have to apply some noise reduction in LR. Nikon viewer can view jpg imbeded in the raw file. LR cannot.

  • Logout and Login to CC does not fix the the Lightroom CC crash on launch issue for me.

    Any other fixes? Solutions?
    Adobe?
    Trial version of Photoshop CC, downloaded after LRCC, works with no issues.
    Please advise.

    I assume at some point you tested in Firefox's Safe Mode to see whether the problem is equally severe. If not, you can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * (menu bar) Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
    After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Any difference?
    '''Flash troubleshooting'''
    As the most commonly used plugin and a known cause of hangs on some systems, you may want to try disabling the protected mode feature of the plugin. This involves creating or editing a settings file. The following pages/posts provide different ways to do that:
    * Adobe support article under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
    * Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209
    * Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078
    Flash needs to completely unload from memory (exiting and starting Firefox up again might help) before this takes effect.
    '''Regarding 64-bit'''
    There is not a 64-bit "release" version of Firefox for Windows. There is a 64-bit bleeding edge test version ("Nightly") that I definitely do not recommend for normal daily use.
    On the plus side, 64-bit programs can use much more memory. On the minus side, many plugins are not available for 64-bit builds of Firefox.
    Some other developers have taken parts of the Firefox code base and created their own 64-bit builds, Waterfox and Pale Moon. I haven't tried those myself.

  • How to fix noise problem with Canon sx50 HS

    I'm wondering why are all of my videos I record with my Canon sx50 HS so noisy as in fuzzy not sound. No matter how I change my Aperture, Iso, Shutter speed, it still doesn't make much of a difference. I still see noise throughout my videos. I have a room where my lights are good, 75 volts and I still can't get rid of it. Can anyone personally help with this issue?

    For starters, I don't know how good of video is possible with the sx50.  It's a compact camera, so there will be limits.
    As to the noise and/or fuzziness.  Depends on if it's noise, or fuzziness, but I suspect both would be caused by the same thing - lack of light.   Photography/videography takes a surprising amount of light.  When you're indoors you need a surprising amount of bright lights for good picture.  I'm not sure what you mean by 75 volts, but a 75 watt light isn't bright at all, not for a camera.  How does the video look if you shoot outdoor?
    If a camera doesn't get enough light it's going to do three things - open up the aperture, raise the ISO, and increase the shutter speed.  Raising ISO adds noise, plain and simple.  Opening the aperture can reduce the amount of the photo that will be in focus, making things look fuzzy.  And increasing the shutter speed can allow movement to show, also making things fuzzy.  Without seeing your video it's hard to speculate which it is.

  • Lightroom window behavior Not like all other Mac apps

    Please Fix This:
    When I click on the red button while in Lightroom (at the top of the window on the left, ref: the three buttons: red, yellow and green) it quits Lightroom.
    This button usually (always) just closes the open window and does not shut down the app in all CS apps and all other apps I've ever known of on the Mac. This needs to be fixed to make Lightroom conform in behavior to other Macintosh applications.
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Seriously, you need to think of Lightroom as a different sort of application.
    It's not an image manipulation app like Photoshop and it;s not s simple lite–duty app like iCal. If you reduce your expectations on what you "think" Lightroom "should be doing, you'll end up being less frustrated....
    Lightroom's main function is keeping track where the fu%&#  are your images...
    When the Michael & Seth show becomes available later this summer, you'll see just how important "where the fuc&$%# are my images" can become...

  • Problem with starting Lightroom CC 6.0 and 6.1

    I upgraded to Lightroom CC (6.0) from 5.7.1. Photographer Cloud Service. Since completing the install, very time I go to start LR, I get an error box stating..."The action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Chose 'Switch to" to activate the busy program and correct the problem".  There are two boxes to click on, "Switch to", and "retry".  Clicking on either will start LR but it takes several clicks to get it complete the start up.
    I read a "fix" on the lightroom forum that deleting the SL Cache folder would fix it.  That did for a couple days.  However that error box has returned when I went to use LR this morning,  the day after 6.1 installed.  LR 6.1 did start normally after several cold boots of the computer the day the update was installed.
    This is on a windows 7-64 bit desktop with 3.4 Intel 7 chip, 18 gig of memory, over 1 TB of free space on the drive LR is loaded on.
    Thanks

    For me, this was caused by some of my additional hard drives spinning down because of my power settings. Changing the power settings to never turn off hard drives fixed the problem.

  • Lightroom to Premiere Pro

    In Bridge and Elements Organizer 4.0 I can simply select a photo and drag and drop the image into Premiere Pro 2.0. It is a very handy feature when having to work with a lot of photos in videos. In Lightroom this functionality seems to be lost. Is there possibly a setting that I am missing? I like many of the features of Lightroom and would like to use it, but it sure would be nice to fix a photo then just drag and drop it into Premiere rather than fix it in Lightroom then find it with Bridge and drag and drop.
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Great, thanks for the notes.
    I obviously have a lot to learn about how LR handles files.
    John, your suggestion of using the Export Actions Folder worked pretty well. I can't put PP in their as it tries to open it as a project and not an import, but I stuck Bridge CS3 in there and it opens right up allowing me to drag to my hearts content.
    Thanks to you all!

  • Lightroom encountered an error when reading it's preview cache and needs to quit

    When I open the program, it shuts down with the above error. It says it will try to fix next time Lightroom opens. It does not. What can I do?

    Go to the folder that contains your catalog using Windows Explorer or Finder, depending on your operating system. Locate and delete the folder with the extension .lrdata. Then you should be able to start Lightroom again.

  • Lightroom 2.1 Opens with card inserted to card reader

    Lightroom 2.1 opens whenever a card is inserted to the card reader. The fix provided for Lightroom 1 does not work (run/msconfig/startup/uncheck apdproxy). What is the fix for 2.1?
    I looked and did not see it. It is so frustrating that if not able to fix, I will uninstal and revert to the previous version of lightroom.
    Sincere thanks in advance.

  • Did 2.1 fix anything?

    I've posted several times about the recurring slideshow module bugs that were introduced with 2.0, and weren't fixed for 2.1. The cropping bug wasn't fixed, either. When I select an image to crop in 2.1, it will often revert to the ratio that I used with the previous photo.
    Both of these bugs are extremely annoying.
    Just wondering: what DID 2.1 fix?
    I'm using LR on an Intel Mac with OS X 10.5.5.

    > In other words, no.
    Noted in that post was this link:
    http://www.adobe.com/special/photoshop/Lightroom_21_ReadMe.pdf
    In that link is this info:
    New in Lightroom 2.1
    The goal of this release is to address several bugs that were introduced with the release of Lightroom 2.0 and provide additional camera raw support. A comprehensive list of issues fixed in this release is included below:
    Stability and High Severity Bugs - Fixed
    Lightroom could crash when switching to or from the web module on Windows Vista 64.
    Selecting a custom camera profile or using auto-white balance could cause a spinning ball.
    Preference files pointing to missing catalogs could prevent Lightroom from progressing past the registration dialog.
    Errors could occur when attempting to create a virtual copy with a computer that has a processor that is not SSE2 enabled. (This is a method of delivering instructions to the processor which was introduced with the Pentium 4 processor. It should not have affected a significant number of modern machines.)
    Modal dialogs could try to appear on a disabled second monitor, causing Lightroom to appear hung or unresponsive.
    When a DNG file was selected for export to a derivative TIFF file and it is added to the catalog at export there was a possibility that one of the files could be treated as a sidecar within Lightroom such that deleting one file deletes both.
    Performance Bugs - Fixed
    Attempting to import a large number of images that already exist within the Lightroom catalog could cause significant performance delays.
    The image counts that appear next to each folder could appear to populate slowly.
    Lightroom scanned the calibration profile directory excessively when switching collections.
    The 'three dot' indicator in the grid view persisted longer than necessary.
    The Mac 64-bit version did not have SSE2 optimization, causing reduced rendering speeds.
    Memory leaks in the Library and Develop modules decreased Lightroom performance.
    Applying keywords via presets or on import could greatly decrease import performance.
    Folder synchronizing could experience significant performance decreases.
    Keywords and Metadata - Fixed
    Keywords from Lightroom 1.4 were not included on image export by default. (Please note that catalogs upgraded from Lightroom 1.4 using Lightroom 2.1 will not have this issue, but catalogs upgraded from
    1.4 using 2.0 will still need to use the script posted at our technical support site at: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb405074.)
    Lightroom stopped rendering previews prior to completion on files with metadata changes applied by other applications.
    The "Any Searchable Field" search option did not find caption text.
    Photoshop Interop - Fixed
    Edit in Photoshop did not work correctly or at all for some customers.
    Copyright Status and Info URL fields were not transferred when a file was created from Lightroom for use in Photoshop.
    XMP metadata from the IDimager application was not carried over during an Edit in Photoshop operation.
    Files with an ampersand in the file name were not added back to the Lightroom Library after an Edit in Photoshop session.
    Choosing to Edit in Photoshop from a folder with an apostrophe in the name would cause the feature to fail.
    Certain NEF files were rotated incorrectly when opened into Photoshop from Lightroom.
    Miscellaneous Troubling Items - Fixed
    Re-importing missing photos from an exported catalog could ignore the setting 'preserve old settings as virtual copy.'
    Choosing to undo a slider adjustment in Lightroom on Windows would cause two undo steps to occur if the slider was still under active mouse selection.
    Lights Out mode could flicker on Windows when the detail panel was selected in the Develop module.
    The crop aspect ratio could revert to the last selected ratio even when it had been reset to original.
    The spot tool might not switch from clone to healing mode upon request if the brush was above a certain size.
    Certain ORF files were not read by Lightroom.
    During import and conversion to DNG, file renaming could use the operating system's date stamp rather than the files EXIF date.
    Panoramic images printed with a portrait layout and utilizing the auto layout functionality would cause images to print at a low resolution.

  • Lightroom 4 Keywords

    I've been experimenting with LR4, but can't figure out how to reset all keywords and restart from scratch.
    I've deleted every catalog I can find (they were all under a Lightroom folder under Pictures).
    I start Lightroom and create a new catalog.  I exit, delete the default catalog and restart.
    I import a folder with about 6 images, each with a few non-hierarchical keywords.
    Lightroom gets inventive and puts them into hierarchies that it remembered from earlier in the day when I had imported keywords from Bridge and then tried to fix the mess Lightroom made of them.  Where is it getting these old hierarchies from??
    How do I stop this nonsense and start clean?

    The answer seems to be that Lightroom doesn't play nice with other programs that keyword tag files, even the JPG files which I started with.
    In addition to tags that other programs can see, Lightroom seems to put its own hidden tagging information in JPGs (and who knows what it does with other files).  Went one removes the tags with another program, Lightroom still finds its own hidden information.
    Can someone point me to a detailed explanation from Adobe of what really happens with different file types?
    Only solution seemed to be to use Lightroom to remove ALL tags from the files I previously tagged in Bridge and start over (in Bridge).
    One thing I really don't like about tagging with Lightroom:
    Assume you have a hierarchical tag like:  Birds > Ducks > Mallard
    If you apply just the Mallard and the Ducks tags with Bridge, that's all that put in the file and all other programs see.
    If you apply just the Mallard and Ducks tags with Lightroom, it seems to know that you've just added those tags, not the Birds tags.  But if you look at the file with another program (Bridge, Windows Explorer, etc.) all three tags have been applied.
    What's even worse, if after tagging in LR I go back to Bridge and remove the "Birds" tag, and then come back to Lightroom and try to change the tags again or remove them all I get a "metadata write error" from LR4 which I have no idea how to resolve.
    The only reason I bought Lightroom was for cataloging, and I'm experimenting with LR4 to try out the new ACR features.  I've had so much trouble with the tags that I haven't even had a chance to look at the new ACR features.

  • Lightroom 5.5 Crashing When I Reject Photos

    I don't think this happened before V5.5, but in the Library or Develop module, if I click the X key repeatedly rejecting a series of photos, Lightroom will crash.  It comes up with "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 64-bit has stopped working, windows is checking for a solution to this problem".  Then it says, "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."  Then it only gives me the option closes out.  When I restart, "The catalog named... was left in an inconsistent state.  Lightroom must restore the catalog before proceeding" flashes briefly on the screen. 
    When it comes back up, some of the photos I marked as rejected have reverted to a non-rejected state, and then the program seems to work normally until...it crashes again.
    Interesting, I tried rating photos by pressing the "1" key as fast as I could push it, and I could not crash it, so it seems related to the rejection process.
    I'm stuck, any ideas?

    Hi John,
    Sorry for the trouble with crashing, try installing the updated DLL found in this article to fix the crashes: Lightroom 5 crashes rating, flagging images | Windows
    Let us know how that goes for you.
