A Comparison of Noise Reduction Programs for Astrophotography
In this detailed technical article, I compare six AI-based noise reduction programs for the demands of astrophotography. Some can work wonders. Others can ruin your image.

What’s old is new again, it seems. Instagram is reportedly testing a new feature that lets users... share status updates.
The James Webb Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope both managed to capture detailed images of the impact of the planetary defense Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART). It is the first time that Webb and Hubble have simultaneously observed the same celestial target.
Instagram is testing a new feature that will allow users to mute words, phrases, and emojis from captions and hashtags, and another it says will offer an easier way to clean up the Explore tab.
While smartphones can provide great images in controlled environments, they're not considered to be as versatile as a dedicated camera. Wedding Photographer Jason Vinson decided to see how a Sony Xperia Pro-I would fare in an setting where he had little to no control: a full-day wedding.
Photographer Steve Perry was out photographing snowy owls with his wife when they both realized that something seemed off about their photos: they were soft. After some testing, he realized that the culprit might be his lens hood.
Instagram is set to launch the first version of Subscriptions on the platform this week, which the company says is designed to support creators and allow them to "monetize and become closer to their followers through exclusive experiences."
I just did a ISO comparison with the Nikon Z9 compared to the Nikon Z6 II and Nikon D850. I’ve been using my old D850 a lot for astrophotography and have been very pleased with its ISO performance.
We all know and love the Fujifilm film simulations. With the touch of a button, you can apply some wonderful looks to your photos. But which Fujifilm film simulation performs best in low light with high ISO values? Which ones perform the worst?
A new report shows that Instagram is working on a new Favorites feature that will make it possible to tell the app what content it should prioritize.
Twitter is testing Tweets that span the full width of the timeline so that photos, videos, and gifs take center stage. The company has announced that the change is designed to make it easier for visual content to shine.
Instagram is testing a change to its services that makes it harder to reshare content, therefore making shares more "intentional." While before users could share a post to their story, it could be done from the post itself. With this change, it could only be done from the "stickers" tab.
Instagram is reportedly testing a feature with a "small number" of users where its "suggested posts" feature will expand beyond just when you've reached the end of your feed and will be mixed throughout a browsing experience, possibly coming ahead of posts from those users follow.
One of the major updates to the latest version of Photoshop is the addition of Sky Replacement: a tool that has the potential to save you a ton of time when editing your landscape images. But as Aaron Nace explains in this video, this AI-powered tool requires a bit of thought if you want to get professional results.
Photographers know better than most: how you edit a photograph can totally chance the perception of that photo for the viewer. But a new online photo history quiz wants to make this explicit, showing how converting a photo to black-and-white can trick us into thinking a photo is much older than it really is.
As a landscape and travel photographer, I often carry around an ultra-wide-angle 14mm lens and the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8. Last week I was able to test the latest addition to the Tamron series for full-frame mirrorless cameras: the 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD. And I think I've found the perfect addition to my usual 2-lens kit.
The Peak Design Travel Tripod. Let's just get it out there: it's $600 for the carbon fiber model. That’s a lot of money. You can buy less expensive tripods that are objectively better at a lot of things that this tripod does. The main selling point is that it's light and packs up tiny, so it’s less of a burden to use when you’re traveling.
Photographer Patrick Hall over at Fstoppers recently put Profoto's 'AirX' iPhone flash sync technology to the test. Using just an iPhone and a Profoto B10, he set out to find out if professional off-camera flash is the "future" of iPhone photography.
Photographers Rachel and Daniel at Mango Street decided to try out a few "photo hacks" they found on TikTok. These sorts of quick "hacks" are notorious for being fake or exaggerated, and they wanted to see which ones actually work, and which ones are only "meh."
Photographer Mathieu Stern recently had a chance to spend a week with the TTArtisan 50mm f/0.95 lens, and he decided to stick it on his Sony a7 III to see what shooting video at f/0.95 is like.
