Anyone know an easy way to edit out the 1D's amp noise from long exposures. I'm using PS7 and every time I try and use the healing brush or the cloning tool I end up with tonal patterns that I just can't live with. In the example image I just left it there as it looked better than when I made my feeble attempt at removal. Cropping isn't really an option that I'm ready to consider just yet...

I considered buying a D60 body for long exposures but I don't do enough night stuff to warrant the purchase. (Plus, a shot that I got after this one would have ruined the D60 as I was subjected to three full on surf splashes while setting up and exposing).

Have you tried the sponge tool and DE-Saturate the color out?

IN THE FUTURE, THE REAL WILL BE ANALOG AND THE IDEAL DIGITAL
 
cool shot of La Jolla. :-) I headed out there yesterday evening to get some wave shots as well. I didn't go above a 6 second shutter though, so I didn't have a problem with it. I usually like the effect best with a 1 or 2 second shutter with a breaker in the background. In your case, I would use the color sample tool, then set your brush to color at 25% or so, and airbrush the color in to conceal it. If necessary, darken the corners a tad. It seems like a pretty easy edit. I definantly wouldn't recommend going with such long exposures in the future though. Here are a few faster exposures from La Jolla..... they're in the 2 to 3 second range.





Take Care,

No, I haven't, up till now I had forgotten all about it. I'll have to give it a shot and see what happens, thanks... :-)

Yet another thing I hadn't thought of, lol, been so busy learning the camera and trying stuff that I ignored and forgot to learn photoshop as well. Thanks a bunch, gonna try it out and see how it looks.
