better way of seeing noise before image is printed?
I like to print photos of images I've taken during planetary imaging
sessions. I have been printing images for several years, but I always have
the same problem: I can't seem to see the noise very well until after an
image is printed. Many, many times I have wasted initial prints because
noise rears its ugly head in the image. Then I have to go back and try to
gaussian blur the image at the risk of loosing sharpness when the image is
reprinted. My question is this: is there any easy way to see noise in
images before they are printed? If I zoom in 200% or better and readjust
brightness/ contrast, this helps somewhat, but I am usually still
disappointed once the image is printed. There must be a better way of
seeing/ predicting noise that will show up in photos. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jason
