When I saw Tina's photo of the Berlin Wall, I was interested in the noise. This is in no way a comment on her decision
to keep the noise - but it's such an interesting case that I wanted to look into it.
First of all, the noise in the sky increases the higher it goes. I don't know if that is down to the film or to scanning
software.
I've been quite interested in Topaz Denoise AI. I've seen it perform miracles -
and fail.
Here, it does a great job on the wall, the black coat, the monument/gate and the lower part of the sky, but does almost
nothing to the top. <http://www.moosemystic.net/Gallery/tech/Process/NR/Wallnoise.htm>
I tried heavier settings, to little avail. So I tried creaky old Neatimage 4, at settings that seriously blur detail,
but clean up the sky nicely, and applied it as a mask to sky only.
