[QUOTE="aroy, post: 569701, member: 16090"] Properly exposed images will have low noise in the well lighted areas upto one or two steps below the maximum stated ISO. The shadows are another matter and darker areas will have a lot of noise. The trick is to mask out the foreground (the brighter areas) from the dark areas. Apply minimal NR to the bright areas and aggressive NR to the dark areas. In extreme cases you can try a few dedicated NR software. Just note that most NR algorithms will soften up the image. I have found that it is best to experiment with exposure compensation at each ISO, so that you know exactly the required compensation for each lens/body/ISO combination. For example with my D3300 and the 35mm F1.8DX lens, I find that Red and Yellow are boosted, during RAW conversion, so underexposing ig these colours predominate helps [/QUOTE]
