Great image Mike.
How did you go about it?
There are a few noiseware PS plugins around - Noise Ninja, Neat Image, Noel Carboni actions, Photoshop itself has a noise reduction filter.
Noel Carboni action and Photoshop noise filter work slightly.
Stephen's tutorial on lowering noise using Lab mode works the best I have seen. Not sure about Neat Image and Noise Ninja. They may be good.
Any other techniques around for noise control apart from gaussian blur of the RGB which I am not that keen on?
I have used the blur tool on specific noisy areas but as you point out you lose detail.
Not sure how layers would help except for blurring and allowing only parts of the blurred image through. Not that keen on that approach either.
Perhaps these plugins are worth a check out.
Greg.
