First of all install Neat Image as a plugin for Photoshop Elements.
Use the lasso tool in elements to select the outline of your main subject.
Apply sharpening only to the bit inside the lasso.
From the 'Select' menu, choose 'Inverse'. This will de-select your main subject and highlight the noisy backround.
Then go to Neat Image via the 'Filter' menu and remove the noise.
You should end up with a sharp main subject and a blurred, noise free background. |
Well Billy
Thanks for this very practical advice and so clearly expressed.
It really makes a difference, especially now that I have a full version of Neatimage rather than the demo which only worked on part of the image if the picture were too large.
No excuses left, now; other than operator error!
