I don’t see the noise :S zooming in at 100% and then scalingt the screen to does not give a visual, especially when you also use videocompression allogrithims.
May be an idea to zoom in to 300% when showing before/after scenario.

Corey,

Your tutorials are awesome! You wouldn’t believe the process I used to use to try to remove noise.

Will these tips always be archived on the site?

Open in Camera Raw from Bridge

You can open RAW images in Camera Raw right from Bridge in Photoshop CS3. This frees up Photoshop to continue working on your files while they’re being processed in Camera Raw. Just select one or more images in Bridge, Control-click (PC: Right-click) on them, and choose Open in Camera Raw. This will open the image(s) in Bridge’s Camera Raw rather than Photoshop. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Command-R (PC: Ctrl-R).
