![Gold Star Critiquer/Gold Star Workshop Editor/Gold Note Writer [C: 1028 W: 285 N: 3429]](http://i1.treknature.com/misc/g-g-g.gif) (11374) [2007-12-02 02:28:31] | large non-sharp parts on both sides of the object to be presented appear disadvantageous, in particular, when one part, the flower, does not belong to the object of interest. This distractive element can be easily removed by cropping so that the view is immediately directed to the butterfly's 'face'. Furthermore, the prominence of the bright non-sharp wings has been reduced by decreasing the gamma-value.
Best wishes, Peter |

Clearly, noise reduction can be a difficult balancing act because real and important details can be lost. I hope that I balanced in the correct way.
