Using Quantum Mechanic Pro

(Assuming you have Adobe Photoshop and Quantum Mechanic Pro installed.)


Open the picture in Adobe Photoshop.

Click on Filter / Camera Bits / Quantum Mechanic Pro...

Inspect the Blue Chrominance preview for noise patterns.

(The "Preview" dropdown choice box is at the bottom center of the work screen.)

Click the checkbox next to "Despeckle Luminance" and watch the preview screen for the effects.

It is likely to make only a minor gain in image quality & clarity compared to the Red & Blue Chrominance adjustments, but every bit counts.

You may or may not want to apply sharpening here... In this case I clicked the sharpening radius
slider to "off" because it looked better without it. (Your mileage may vary.)

This is the last step in the process.
