Reduce Noise and Save the Stars with EasyNR in Photoshop

I’ll show you how to install and use EasyNR for intelligent, star-masked noise reduction in Photoshop, in one-click.

Noise reduction is one of the most important post-processing requirements for almost all astrophotography images. While each image is different, each image always requires at least a little. The problem is, far too often noise reduction kills the finer details, and turns the stars into ugly little smudges. Jon Secord worked with us at PhotographingSpace to create EasyNR, a Photoshop action that can fix most astrophotography noise issues without killing the stars.

After you install EasyNR into Photoshop, you will have:

• 4 levels of one-click EasyNR masked noise reduction
• Star masking to save detail in the bright parts of your photo
• Noise reduction where you want it, focused on areas of your photo that are more likely to contain more noise
• The ability to chain multiple levels of the same or other EasyNR levels for subtle to extreme effects
