His unique astro-landscapes have received worldwide syndication through The Huffington Post, and he is the author of the book, “Milky Way NightScapes.We ran this poll last in September 2011, so I thought it was time for an update to see if there have been any changes since last time. He has been one the first photographers, in recent years, to focus on a new style of night photography he calls “NightScapes”: Starry night skies with a unique landscape feature. Royce believes that photographers should strive to “reinvent” themselves every few years, and find new ways to see the world through their art. From 1984 through 2007, his Stock Solution agency aided hundreds of photographers in editing, distributing and licensing their stock photos to publishers and corporations, worldwide.
He also finds satisfaction helping other photographers achieve their vision through his writings, international lectures, and workshops.Īs a former photography gallery owner and curator, Royce has helped scores of photographers showcase and sell their fine art photography. Royce Bair has been a professional magazine and illustrative advertising photographer for three decades. 2.) Foregrounds often have details (rocks and plants) that help to hide noise. There are two reasons: 1.) The foreground usually requires much less post processing contrast, so noise is not increased as much as the night sky. I often use Dfine much more on the sky than on the foreground (which is easy to do with Photoshop's selection masks). So much contrast is added to the sky to make the Milky Way "pop" that any noise left over from the Detail adjustments is accentuated and must be reduced by Dfine. That's because the night sky often needs additional noise reduction after all the post processing is done. I believe it outperforms other noise reduction software products, including the popular DeNoise by Topaz.īeyond the Details adjustment in ARC: Although powerful noise reduction is available through the Adobe Camera Raw Converter Detail menu (refer to pages 120-124 in my Milky Way NightScapes e-Book), Dfine is a must for the final touch-up work. Even at this price, I often recommended it to other nightscape photographers.
Back in 2010 you could purchase this plug-in separately from Nik for $199. Dfine is the Best Noise Reduction Software for High ISO Astro-Landscape Images.
