Noise Removal

Below are my original image as well as the corrected images.

Due to the condition of the original, I'm not sure anything will help. I think of the three corrections, One Step Noise Removal is the best. Perhaps in later lessons I may use this photo to see if I can make it better. It was taken in January 2001 and I have tried various times to "fix" it but nothing worked to my satisfaction.

Some ramblings...

I designed my first website on Geo Cities years ago...back when you actually chose a street and address in a neighborhood!  My goal then was to be able to say "I did it."  A couple of years later, I discovered Paint Shop Pro and a whole new world opened to me.

Graphics became my "drug of choice".  I spent hours learning to create graphics. I expanded my site and registered my own domain. I was off and running...my site seemed to grow in leaps and bounds.

Then in 2005 my oldest son, Scott, appeared on American Idol and my whole life changed! I no longer had time for my graphics...all my time was spent in the "real" world! Funny how sometimes life gets in the way of what we are doing!

While I wouldn't change anything that's happened over the last few years, I found not only did I miss my creative outlet, the internet community made some changes while I was away. Now I'm back to doing what I love!
