Classroom in a book - CS4 - Lesson 6 - cannot get rid of the noise

I'm on Lesson 6 version CS4 classroom in a book. I worked on the image with the mother and child, but I can't seem to get rid of the noise in the mountains and the sky. They look very grainy. I've followed all the steps exactly and even went through screen shots to see if any setting have been changed which may not have been mentioned. I compared my version to the version 'End' and they seem very different. The mountains and the look of the sky much better in the "End" version, although the mother and child look more exposed. On mine, the people look much more sharp, but the noise in the mountains is terrible and the sky is also quite grainy.  I redid this part of the lesson about 6 times, four times on my PC and twice on a MAC, but the results are always the same.  The sharpness which lesson you do at the end, while improving certain parts, the granulation in the worst of the sky and the mountains.

This has been very frustrating.  Clearly something more was done with the image of 'End', which was not in the lesson.  Even if people, in my opinion, look better in my finished version, the mountains and the sky look terrible, and the background was the entire point of the lesson. Does anyone have ideas, what has been done to make the smooth background to the image of 'end '?

I dug my copy of PS CS4 classroom in a book and went through the same lesson to see what results I got.  I can confirm that the noise reduction is not optimal.  See the example in the picture 'after ':

Compare with the results of a 3rd party plugin noise reduction (in this case Topaz Denoise) using a standard preset:

This version needs a bit of sharpening is to the people.

In doing this exercise that I was reminded why I dislike the Classroom in a Book series.  It makes you go through the steps like a zombie, tell you what value to enter in each field, but it does not often do the fields. Certainly, as a reader, you are free to experiment, but which do not encourage lessons. And the fact that the results do not always match the book and readers are disappointed when the results do not confirm my opinion that the book is not encourage experimentation.  Perhaps a further reduction of noise was made for each channel in the Advanced setting of section.as described in the box of Lesson 6.

  • Cannot get rid of the BIOS password

    Bought an ACER Aspire E1 from an EBAY of ACER store about a year ago. A few weeks ago, I started it and quickly received a BIOS PASSWORD entry. Since that time, the laptop was absolutely worthless. I guess I tried the hardware, software, battery and all I could think of to fix the problem. I tried the MICROSOFT forums. ACER, ASK.COM Forums and forums Forums, forums, forrums and other forums that I could think of to try to resolve the unknown BIOS password. Thanks UEFI.

    I guess short of replacement of the EEPROM on the motherboard (don't think even that would help) which I'd be suspicious to do.

    Cannot get rid of the BIOS password.

    If I contact the ACER Support, they say that it's a hardware problem. I tried (as suggested by ACER support), bringing to STAPLES, BESTBUY, FRYS ELECTRONICS, OFFICE MAX, DATA DOCTORS, and several other 'Repair computer facilities' nothing works.

    IN a WORD, it's a PIECE OF a $400 trash...

    If anyone has any ideas on how to reslove this issue, send me an E-mail, fax, text. or post a reply...

    Thanks for letting me the WIND...

    Hello

    I googled this file pofusido.dll and it could be caused by a virus.

    I would suggest that you disable the restore mode as viruses use it to reinstall set apart them.

    Download and install the free http://www.malwarebytes.org/

    Restart the computer and keep pressing F8 to get into safe mode with network connection.

    Once you have updated Malwarebytes run and see if it can remove the virus.

    So delete all cookies in your internet Explorer.

  • Smartphones from blackBerry Desktop Manager "disconnected" and I cannot get rid of the error message

    I just bought a Blackberry Curve 8530, running v5 software, my computer is Windows 7. I installed the 501_b073_multilanguage software that I downloaded from the site Web of Blackberry. When I run the Desktop Manager I get this message: "Before you start, check that your current BlackBerry device is connected to your computer." Troubleshooting functions I've seen on this forum: many tips (ones I've tried is below). One in particular, that I can't do is "Office Manager shows"off". ".
    -Make sure that the user has entered in the Desktop Manager and select options > connection settings > detect. »

    ... because I can't get rid of the error message dialoge box, and I can't click on the menu options in the BB Desktop Manager.

    I tried the following:

    • uninstalled and reinstalled twice - 2nd uninstall was a "hard" uninstall where I deleted the registry files by hand
    • installs the cable to the USB port at the back (after having tried both ports at the front) of the computer
    • rebooted the computer several times
    • hard starts the phone by removing the battery
    • plugged in, removed and replugged in the phone.

    Also:

    • The phone is properly install when I plug it in, but the software still does not seem to see it.
    • In Device Manager, the BlackBerry appears under portable devices. Double clicking on it gives me the message "this device is working properly." of reassurring.
    • The Com1 port is working properly, according to Device Manager.
    • A double-click on the icon of the Device Manager to get the properties indicates that the Com1 port is "disconnected" - when I try to set it up, it appears just back to the disconnected state.

    If someone has an idea or something that I have not tried, I'd be happy of course!

    Thank you!

    Good, people, after a phone call from 3 1/2 hour with a (very patient) phone support person to Blackberry, here's what I learned.

    You can check your drivers USB in this way:

    1. Plug your phone into your USB key. Assuming that your Blackberry is "seen" by your computer...
    2. Go into the Device Manager on your computer (Panel)
    3. Expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers at the bottom of the list item
    4. Right-click on the BlackBerry smartphone, and then select Properties
    5. Click on the driver tab
    6. Click the driver Details button
    7. You should see a driver. I saw two. The one like the BlackBerry is the RimUsb one.

    So here's what NOT to do: we threw any driver who has been the "extra". This actually made using my mouse and keyboard cannot, because they are USB and my poor husband has sent in the basement to find a million-year-old keyboard (and mouse) with the old fashioned type of connectors (PS2). Bleh. Don't, don't.

    Here's what I did that worked (not saything this will work for you - it changes the registry to a backup system with this backup and restore if you are nervous about this kind of thing):

    1. On the start menu, choose run and type regedit into the registry editor.
    2. Follow this path to the file: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, CurrentControlSet, Control, computer, class
    3. Click: {36FCE60-C465-11CF-8056-4445535400000}
    4. If there is an article called law "UpperFilters", delete it. (See photos)

    Hope this helps someone.

  • Cannot get rid of the empty Capture window

    I've been video capture from VHS tapes to a VCR by a Canopus ADVC-55 analog-to-digital converter.  I use Windows 7.  It worked OK, but at one point, first Elements 9 froze when taking and I aborted it via Task Manager.  When I reopened it PE9 a capture window empty blocking work area appeared (see Figure).  The window cannot be closed or moved, but can be resized.

    I have made several attempts to get rid of him.

    -J' started another video capture, which opened a new capture window without getting rid of it empty.

    -Starting a new project doesn't have a window.

    -J' uninstalled and reinstalled PE9.  The empty window always opens when I start the program!

    The program is still usable by resizing the window to small so large that I can access the controls, but I would appreciate any advice to get rid of the stupid thing.

  • E-mail addresses of removal of Smartphones blackBerry is no longer in use - cannot get rid of the icons. Advanced restore?

    Hi, I recently lost my phone and got a replacement yesterday.  I restored my backup of a few months back, but he understood some email addresses, that I don't use anymore and I don't want them on the handset.  I had been online to my blackberry and orange Web page and delete these email addresses it and then re-sent service books.  I also took the battery out and reloaded several times.  However, icons of e-mail on the home page will not disappear - I "hide", and then in all applications where electronic mail is used, the list of my email addresses include these "deleted".

    Anyone know how to get rid of these?

    My new replacement phone has annoyingly crashed, then they send me a new tomorrow.  I managed to save today before it crashed, so I can restore my settings when I get a news.  When I do a restore is it possible to restore everything except email addresses? And then I can just manually reset the because it is fairly simple.

    If anyone has any ideas...

    Thank you, J

    Once you have made the restoration on the new device:

    1. Go to Options > advanced > Service books and remove those email accounts you don't want, you will see two entries for each e-mail account, a [CICAL], and a [CIMIME] entry.
    2. Then, return to your Orange BIS account configuration and delete the accounts of unwanted emails again, if they're still there.

    Good luck.

  • Help: I can remove bookmarks using 'Organize Favorites', but cannot get rid of the empty folder.

    Using 'Organize bookmarks' I can delete individual bookmarks, but when I try to remove the empty folder, the "Delete" option is grayed out.

    The folder in which you are trying to delete?

    In the left pane of the library (bookmarks > organize bookmarks) there are three main files in the folder "All bookmarks" ("Bookmarks Toolbar", "Bookmarks Menu", "Unsorted Bookmarks").
    You cannot delete these main folders.

    * The Bookmarks Toolbar folder stores the bookmarks that you see on the (View > Toolbars >) Bookmarks Toolbar.
    * The Bookmarks Menu folder stores bookmarks that you see in the Bookmarks menu and create via "Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page" or "Bookmark This Link" in the right click context menu.
    * The Unsorted Bookmarks folder stores that bookmarks that are created by clicking the star at the right end of the location bar.
    
  • Cannot get rid of the pop up windows

    Hi, I removed my Media Gallery because if gave me a lot of errors, or it would freeze my computer.  I went and deleted all VAIO applications because I do not use them, but now I get this message "Windows cannot find ' C:\Program Files (x 86) \Sony\Media".» Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. »

    Hey Brenlizz,

    What could be the problem, is that the program tries to start at startup, but since it is impossible to find the program error occurs.

    A solution would be:

    Open the start menu and type "msconifg" into the search bar. That must put in place the program system Configurtion.

    Go to the Startup tab and look for all programs with the VAIO or Windows Media Gallery.

    If you are able to find them, uncheck the box for this problem, it should disable start at startup, and hit apply.

    This should fix the pop up question.

    I hope this has helped!

  • iOS e-mail notifications - cannot get rid of the preview

    Heya,

    It looks a lot like this - I have disabled all the preview options and I am at my wits end... How can I disable the whole thing look? I just want to see the name of the sender and the subject.

    It has been like this in the last beta too but I was hoping it would be fixed either to the less changeable.

    Thank you!

    You can't just the sender and the subject see Preview email.  Left Apple dropped the ball on this.  On what we can do is complain via their usefulness of Feedback on the site and hope that they give back what was the best feature.

    An email notification on a lock screen should be to have an overview of what is happening, with a small detail - if wanted... not to an electronic full to drop in on my lock screen and crowd out other notifications that could very well be more important.

    This is absurd.
