I will love to see, of this version of noise reduction imaging to Pixelmator. I only use Pixelmator, cause I don't have a good budget to buy Photoshop CS5, but anyway. I really like how useful this tutorial is, it's very interesting and very effective than the simple use of noise reduction filter or tool.

I like to see something like this done in Pixelmator, how you do it

Really awesome video tutorial!

@belken117 thanks for the nice comments! unfortunately, i do not have that software and use Photoshop exclusively. most image editing software uses a very similar interface and functions are very similar. keep researching and testing your software and maybe you will find a suitable work-around. thanks again

Hey so I have tried this multiple times but I keep getting this red outline around my selections. I am also working in RGB so I'm not sure if that's the problem.

@MrPOOPpants1 thank you for the comment. let me know if you ever need anything in print production or other information!

@hidefcolor Thank you for all your help, you are great!

@MrPOOPpants1 i will post a video on how to do soft proofing in Photoshop. keep in mind that you will need the correct print profile for this to work effectively.

ProPhoto RGB is an even bigger RGB color gamut than Adobe RGB. most monitors, let alone output devices, cannot render this gamut. many pros will archive images in ProPhoto RGB in hopes that advances in the future will permit the use of this color space.

@hidefcolor Yes sir soft proofing. Im sorry. Also, how is pro photo rgb in comparison to a adobe rgb? Thank you so much.
