been reading some of the comments hear with interest Eric this is the way I process and it stays the same whatever brand/model /lens I use . I initially process in Lightroom c.c to get the crop/ colour /w.balance / sharpness/exp looking how I wanted it to look at times I over enhance the bird for effect as some can be rather drab in dull lighting ... I then open image in p.s and usually apply one touch of brightness around the eye detail, next I use subject surround and layer the bird . the I apply noise reduction via a plug in to the background layer only . rejoin the layers and resize the image for the web normally at 1400 pixels on longest edge unless its a super pic . then its simply a case of applying my copyright info to the pic and sharpening the bird layer in smart sharpen . file /save as usually to my desktop first . in my books this is the only way to get acceptable bird images . but others thoughts may differ

The Photoshop method I use also only reduces noise in background as the Masking protects the bird. Nice to stir up a some intersting points of view. I think we all agree small birds are not easy.

Interesting thread and thanks for insight to your methods. I don't have the latest PS with Subject Sselect but I do it the old fashioned way. Duplicate layer, apply de-noise to top layer and then simply erase the bird from the top layer to reveal the original below. Erased bird..... Attachment: layer.jpg (Downloaded 7 times)

I think we all agree small birds are not easy. I think we are all coming to that agreement and as Iain said ......If you cant get a big sharp well exposed low iso picture of the bird, forget it till a better opportunity comes. I still cant get my head round 20years digital camera development and we STILL have to tune/ hone/ enhance/ change the results in a computer. I think we are all being taken for mugs.

doing it the hard way Eric , simply add outline around the bird via lassoo tool click anywhere on pic for drop down box , choose select inverse , then apply de noise to the background layer . click on pic again , choose select inverse again followed by layer via copy you will now have a separated image in your right hand workflow . resize for web , then click on image in right hand workflow box ,double click on it then smart sharpen image only .
