Gentle Giant, but Shy Away from a Wet Kiss

The only way I could get this exposure was to set my ISO to Auto and it used 6,400. The noise is still prodigious, but I wanted to capture the image, so I can live with what I've got.

Still, I keep wondering if someone could take it further. This is an open invitation for anyone to copy the photo from the Download, edit it in your de-noise program, then please return the edited .jpg file to this thread.

I was able to reduce the noise somewhat using Topaz Denoise AI. I also tried to correct the red cast on the head using the PS Clone Tool. It seems like, with a lot of work that could be corrected. Personally, I just don't think the image is worth the effort but that would have to be up to you.

Could you please upload your edited version? I'd like to see how your tools worked.

OK Bob, thought I'd give it a try. Used Topaz DeNoise AI like Jack did and got the same result. Then tried to remove some red with Blake Rudis ZSE6 Blend If Zone Color Masks primarily forr red, green, and blue. Think I could have done a little more, but I'm still new to this type of editing. Also not sure what colors are in his coat, so didn't want to overdo. Bev

Thank you, Bev. I own Topaz DeNoise AI but not the Black Rudis piece.
