Hi John-

Basically, the filters designed to reduce noise (found under Filter>Noise), use various methods to smooth and/or blur details on a pixel-by-pixel basis in order to get rid of some of the digital noise. Putting all this blurring and smoothing together tends to soften the edges, details, etc. of an image, giving the overall image a softer appearance.

Trond-
Thanks, and yes, the video compression does take out a lot of the detail. I wish it were possible to show larger, high-res examples.

How does noise reduction affect the softness of the overall image

Really helpful instructions, but honestly I couldn’t see any of the noise in the video. I suspect the video compression is washing it all away.

Thanks for the comment, and my apologies about the sound. The file I submitted was fine, so I’ll check with the web site folks and see if we can figure out what happened.
