Scanned images. I've used both PS5 and NIK noise reductions with little success. Looking for those that have used other standalone or PS plugin software that are up to date and powerful.This is posted in Hybrid, so does this mean you're dealing with noise in scans? Or are we talking about digital captures?
The noise is from usually underexposed area in the image. It is an item to be treated in post processing with various noise reduction software such as Topaz & DXO and others. Just looking for someone who has used a program they can recommend that works better than just basic inclusion programs.I found the scanner has very little noise as it has sufficient light for the exposure. If the OP said noise means grain then usually the scanner software does a better job.

Just to be clear, you are seeing this noise when viewing the negative with a loupe on a light table, right?Usually not an issue with exposures, but I have one or two direct into the sun starburst scenes where the dark areas are really trashed with noise.
That's a really remarkable noise pattern. How did you digitize this film?
Yeah, that's some heavy noise.
As you say, you can't retake that image, but you can rescan it on a better scanner. Maybe that would be a better option than trying to get rid of sensor noise?

Or to ask the question another way, is your scanner faithfully capturing noise/grain as it appears on the negative -- or is your scanning process introducing noise?
What I can see in the grassy area of your posted example looks like noise introduced by the scanning process. If so, I would be looking for ways to prevent the noise up front rather than trying to eliminate it later.
