Cranking your ISO higher is a real lifesaver in some situations, and frankly, the only way to keep shutter speeds at bay while capturing erratic subjects in poor lighting. Despite its usefulness, it developed a bad reputation, namely because of the noise and loss of detail it introduces to your images. But with computational technology advancing at light speed, the best photo editing software like DxO PhotoLab offers incredible Noise Reduction options to salvage the grittiest of photos.
YouTuber Emily Lowrey, who runs the Micro Four Nerds channel, points this out in her latest video, testing DxO’s Denoise and Deep Prime tools to rescue a noisy wildlife shot captured at ISO12800. Watch the full video below for a detailed breakdown on the process and to see the shocking outcome, and let us know if you agree that worrying about ISO is indeed a thing of the past.
