I don’t use any kind of noise reduction software myself. I’m not a fan of the results they produce. But I would think the best way to test two, would be to do a side by side comparison, based on the same source material.

Dawn: No nerve needed. Just go for it! :)

numbeos: If your shot is too soft or out of focus, you can’t fix that in post processing. You could try different lenses. Make sure you always double (triple) check that your image is in focus before submitting.

Great tips and I’ve always kept them in my mind in order not to get rejected by istock….By the way there’s something I have no idea what to do if a clear center focal point cant be found for my photo…What I actually could not figure out is istock allows me to resubmit that file but I wonder if this is something can be fixed by photoshop? Thank you..

These are great tips! I’ve been trying to work up the nerve to apply to iStockphoto for over a year. :-)

Roberto: You are absolutely right. The reason I recommend not using noise reduction, is that most of the time, people don’t know how to. I would argue, that while you can get good results with practice and correct technique, you’re better off learning how to avoid noise in the first place.

Good Rasmus and thanks for your “inspector” tips.
A note about noise reduction software. It’s true that they often drive to smooth out details (I’ve got a ton of rejection due to overfiltering ;-) ), but using this kind of software could be useful selecting just large uniform color zones (sky, shadows).
Cheers,
roberto
