WExtremeG Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Having camera troubles.. I really like this pic, but the quality isn't there- could anyone improve it so that it doesn't appear grainy and dark- and also remove the white triangular shape from the lounge? (I had a go- but couldn't get it) Much appreciated! (if it helps, the lounge is dark chocolate coloured) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huga Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 You probably can't really save it. Part of the reason it's grainy is because it's underexposed - lightening will increase the grain. You could try and run it through a noise reducing program, but honestly, most of them just make everything look plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WExtremeG Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 .. Okay, ta- disappointed now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huga Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Quick and dirty and I'm sure someone else can do better, but yeah, it's too far gone for me to improve. I do hear all the time 'Can't you just photoshop it?' :laugh: It's not the magician that it's made out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dame Aussie Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Was it an iPhone pic? I find the iPhone and similar to be great at taking shots outside in natural light but very grainy indoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WExtremeG Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Haha- thanks Huga! yeah, too far gone! Aussie, no it wasn't an iPhone pic- my iPhone at the mo takes much better photos than my camera that took the shot, because my camera (Olypus) is temperamental!

huga Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Is it a DSLR or a point and shoot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WExtremeG Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) lol...not sure.. it's an Olympus sz-10 14 megapixel That can take BEAUTIFUL (after lots of messing around with the settings ect) pics when it wants to... :laugh: Edited January 31, 2013 by WExtremeG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huga Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 If you can't change lenses, then it's a point and shoot. It's very very tough to ask a little camera to take decent pics when there is very little light and no flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WExtremeG Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) ahh- okay :) I do have another one where you can change lenses- but I can't work that one very well...lol Yeah, my camera is funny- it will sometimes work perfectly and then (for what it seems) suddenly wash out the colours, so that you have to diminish the light in order for the colours to be displayed correctly- it's a pita.. especially if you want to capture moments that you can't re-create. Must really go through it's manual again- it does take beautiful pics- but you have to take a zillion to get them! lol Edited January 31, 2013 by WExtremeG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) It looks like the kind of pose your dog does alot. I'd try another time to take a similar photo. See if you can take it with the curtains open and good light. Edited January 31, 2013 by Kirislin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimax Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 You could try running it through *cringe* instagram - that seems to make even bad photos look semi-decent :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WExtremeG Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Thanks guys. Will try again later (I like that one as she has her paws crossed over- and normally doesn't) Never know- might get lucky :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic oh lah Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 My editing software experience is mainly from a graphical content background but I think a bit of blur and playing with the colours and contrast makes your pretty pup stand out a bit.
