    How to both reduce noise and sharpen an image non-destructively.

    Copying the original layer, is the first thing I do everytime. Here is what I'm trying to get at. I convert the copied original layer to a smart object. Apply the camera raw filter to add noise reduction. Mask the face so it won't be affected by noise reduction. Now I doubleclick the smart...

    How to both reduce noise and sharpen an image non-destructively.

    Yes, but when you want to have more than one smart object with different filters WITH DIFFERENT MASKS, you start having problems. I guess that ain't possible, and you have to nest smart objects within smart objects. As far as I understand, anyway.

    How to both reduce noise and sharpen an image non-destructively.

    Yes, but let's say I want to redo the work I did in the new tab after having doubleclicked the smart object, is that possible, I can't see how. When saving, I guess I can't go back.

    How to both reduce noise and sharpen an image non-destructively.

    But if I have 7 layers OVER the stamp visible layer, that's a whole lot of changes to go through again if I need to make changes UNDER the stamp visible layer.

    How to both reduce noise and sharpen an image non-destructively.

    When I double click the smart object (with the camera raw noise reduction) it opens in a new tab, this is what you want me to do, right? Then in the new tab, convert to smart, add the sharpening filter, mask as needed, file/save, and now it jumps back to the original tab/image with both the...

    How to both reduce noise and sharpen an image non-destructively.

    But in post #7 which you refer to, it says I have to do exactly that. But then I do not work non-destructivly anymore, since I can't go back and make changes to layers under the stamp visible layer.

    How to both reduce noise and sharpen an image non-destructively.

    No, not fully. But I do know, that when I make "stamp visible layer", changes made to layers UNDER that stamp won't have an effect, smart object or not, if I want to go back and make changes before the stamp visible layer.

    How to both reduce noise and sharpen an image non-destructively.

    I guess nesting smart objects is the only option when I want to use two filters (camera raw and smart sharpening) with two different masks.

    How to both reduce noise and sharpen an image non-destructively.

    In post 5, I end up with the same noise as I started with, no noise-reduction is applied. In post 12, when I make a copy of a layer, I can't go back and make changes to the layer under the new copy.

    How to both reduce noise and sharpen an image non-destructively.

    Please show me the post where you mean the process is explained and I will try to explain what I mean is not fully understood. Thanks for the patience.

    How to both reduce noise and sharpen an image non-destructively.

    Guys, thanks for your effort, but I'm not sure you really understand what I'm trying to say/do. I may not be good enough at explaning. I will start all over. I want to reduce the noise on the blurry part of the image, and I want to sharpen the face, and I want to be able to go back at any time...

    How to both reduce noise and sharpen an image non-destructively.

    But if I want to go back to the background layer and maybe add more or less noise, it is not possible anymore, and then I don't work non-destructively anymore. I do understand all you are saying. But what is important to me, is to learn to work non-destructively, and by that I mean, that by...

    How to both reduce noise and sharpen an image non-destructively.

    Yes, but I have not worked non-destructively. I can't go back to the layer beneath the "shift, option, cmd, e" layer and alter that. That's my problem, I want to be able to do it non-destructively.

    How to both reduce noise and sharpen an image non-destructively.

    I just want to reduce noise on the blurry part, not make it sharper. Sharpen the face and reduce noise on the blurry part.

    How to both reduce noise and sharpen an image non-destructively.

    But I want to do both sharpen and reduce noise on different parts of the image. If I convert to smart object, apply noise reduction and mask it where I want/don't want it, what am I gonna do when I want to sharpen, I can't just create a new mask within that smart object, it can only have one...

    How to both reduce noise and sharpen an image non-destructively.

    Ok, hey guys. I've got this macroshot of a grasshoppers face with the rest of the body going into shallow dof-ness. Only the very front of the face is sharp and even the back of the eyes starts to go blurry. The image is great, but I got a problem. I can't figure out how to sharpen the front...

    Pixelating when down-scaling

    Guys, thanks for help so far. The images I use are just some random from a google search, am I allowed to upload them to this site without breaking any rights? I'm not going to use this exact project for anything other than practice, but I would still very much like to learn what's going on.

    Pixelating when down-scaling

    I've tried the different kind of methods, but none of them seems to do anything better. I'm scaling it way down as the eagle is the size of the whole screen and I need it to be very small, like an inch on-screen or so. But it seems to look worse when I just scale it a bit down. I just saw the...

    Pixelating when down-scaling

    Hmm, the default one, I didn't touch that. It's called "bicubic".

    Pixelating when down-scaling

    Hey guys How can it be, that when I save an image from the net to use in PS, that that image gets extreme pixelated and looses detail when I'm scaling it down to fit my background? My example: I've got a lake as a background and want an eagle to fly over it. I find an image of an eagle on the...
