[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 205594, member: 9240"] Phil, I'm not sure what version of AcR you're using, but in the latest version if you go to the Detail section there are Noise Reduction sliders. Zoom to 100% and see if you have color issues at the default of 25. At 3200 ISO you probably should not. So play with the Luminance slider looking at a fairly plain section, like the white wall, until you eliminate the noise. Then go to a detailed section and see how much it softened the details and then use the other sliders to bring back as much as you can. Here's a decent little tutorial on how to use it. [MEDIA=youtube]eQ8QaB7FWvo[/MEDIA] FYI, I always do NR first and then leave my sharpening to normal postprocessing in Photoshop with their sharpening tools or using Nik's Sharpener Pro. I occasionally do it in RAW when I have so much noise that NR has oversoftened. In these cases I will mask almost always to 90-95, bringing back only the edges, and I usually won't go beyond 70 on the slider. For the D600 a radius of 1.3 seems to work perfectly. Since adapting the Nik tools I've abandoned the manual process and use Nik's DFine 2.0 as it seems to do as good or better a job as I could tweezing the settings, and does it in under 30 seconds. But it's still good to practice how to do it manually and understand the types of noise you're trying to reduce. [/QUOTE]
