NEAT IMAGE PHOTOSHOP ISO
If you look hard at the Before version you will note that the ISO 1600 noise is pretty well controlled, but that what little noise is present is eliminated without destroying the fine detail. I used Arash’s 1D X ISO 1600 noise reduction settings during the RAW conversion in DPP 4. You can see the grain disappear from the eye and from the feathers while retaining the detail as the GIF switches from Before to After. I let this animated GIF run for 3 seconds rather than the usual 2 so look carefully at the before and after images to see the gentle but effective NeatImage NR on the subject. I am sure that it is a sub-adult bird that is simply outside the lines of what is typically normal.

The brown and black plumage does not usually go with the red bill pouch. This bird is neat because of its strange plumage. Though that photo was one of the very first images that I made on what turned out to be 3 1/2+ week trip, it was my favorite San Diego photo by far. I made this image on the day that I created the featured image in the blog post here. In life, the bird was very dark brown, even close to black in spots. I have never seen a pelican with plumage quite like this. Pacific race of Brown Pelican with strange sub-adult plumage Click here to see the latest version of the Rear Focus Tutorial.
