It did well with hot pixel noise (score: 8) but not so much with the random noise (score: 2). So while it's difficult to test it in a side-by-side comparison, the scores were consistent. Besides that, running multiple long exposures with a single camera is a bit of a challenge. While we did plenty of testing with in-camera long-exposure noise reduction, we found it's difficult to compare what it looks like with and without having it enabled because of the varying temperatures of the camera's sensor.
Then it removes the noise coming from this heat from the first image. This happens because the camera is actually shooting a second exposure without letting any light in so it can measure the amount of heat coming from the sensor. When we do this, we'll find that the camera stays busy for twice the amount of time as what we set for an exposure time. When that happens, we may find some benefit from using our cameras' in-camera long-exposure noise reduction.

The stacking process part of it, but don't forget that for the final image, we often like to blend in a long-exposure low ISO foreground. The result is a visible reduction in noise although it takes some work to get there. This is where we take a sequence of images and blend them using "median stacking mode" which essentially throws out the bad values and only keeps the good ones. Your results may vary depending on the manufacturer and model of the camera you're using and the content of the scene you're capturing. Equipment: Images used in testing were captured a Nikon D810, D800, D700, and D300.
Image Samples: Shown at 100% with some brightening to make the noise easier to see.Priorities: Reduce noise without sacrificing details.Some of these options are really impressive especially for the hot pixels! We may have fewer options to choose from but they're still pretty good thanks to the power of Photoshop and some third party tools from Nik and Topaz. So in the end, we recommend using noise reduction only in select cases where it's needed and even then, we like doing it with a light touch. We generally find that the noise is an issue mostly when we're printing an image and that's when we want the absolute best image quality possible. In-fact, some people say that the details of a night image come in-part from the noise and if you remove all of the noise, you'll lose a lot of the details. We're not going to pretend that everyone or every image needs noise reduction though. So Darren and Mike got together and tested some of the most common methods available to determine what would be best to recommend and when. In-fact, with all the different approaches available for reducing noise in nightscape images, it can be a downright confusing to know what to use when. One of the challenges in using noise reduction is that there are so many options available to us. In the end, photographers have some good options available to them. What can you do about it? Well, part of the answer lies in the shooting techniques but there's more on the post-processing side as well. We push our cameras to capture the best details possible in dark conditions and the result can often be a little noisy and that can be especially noticeable when we go to print. Noise is a big consideration in shooting pictures at night.
