Removing noise.

Hey, I've been trying to submit photos to stock photography websites but a lot of mine are rejected due to noise. How do you remove noise cleanly?

Try the "Despeckle" (I think it's called that, or "Reduce Noise") filter in Photoshop, but it does lose some sharpness of the image, which you can always get back with a little editing. It sounds like you need a better camera though.

Noise is added in different shooting conditions.

Ie, when you shoot in darker areas and crank the ISO up. Therefore a flash would help and allow you to use a lower ISO.

Thanks for the tips. Yeah, I do need a better camera and the reduce noise filter worked ok with some photos but on others it really destroyed some details.

Are you using something like Photoshop? If you are I can recommend using Noise Ninja.

For in camera settings, try using a low ISO and try mounting your camera on a tripod or on something stable
