ReDynamix

I've been playing with a photoshop plug-in called ReDynamix. I wasn't too sure about it to begin with. The results were interesting but it created a lot of noise in the process. I have since found a couple ways of reducing the noise created by ReDynamix and I'm very happy with the results.

All of my original images don't get touched/altered, I import them into Lightroom and export Tiff's and Jpeg's to work on. The first way I have found to reduce noise is to export as a 16 bit Tiff. Then in photoshop change the bit amount to 8 bit so the plug-in will work. This saves quite a lot of detail.

These images were done before I came up with the 16bit tiff idea. They only show what detail can be found in images that may look rather poor to begin with. They were all taken during a 3 hour Eco Cruise around the Tasman Peninsula coastline. During this trip I felt rather sea sick due to the fact I was forever taking photos. In other words, I was always looking through the view finder. This had an adverse effect on me. I didn't feel too good by the end of it but the trip was well worth it!

That is some beautiful scenery, Colin! I imagine this type of treatment brings out the detail of these fascinating rock formations well. Nice to see this part of your world....

I would have been REALLY seasick, not just a little... :(

Great use of the tool Colin. The noise reduction really does bring the details out. The Seal and the sea both look sharp and lovely colour saturations. Great series, and thanks for the >8bit conversion tip.
