I've tried that using various radii but I never seem anything more than a very faint difference. Has anyone else used this technique before? have you tried neatimage yet Greg? www.neatimage.com the standalone program is probably easier to use than the PS plugin, and noise profiles are available for many cameras and scanners for download karl
