I'll have to give that a go next time i have noise around thanks for the tip.  And no - keeping in this thread is fine, photoshop is a photographers tool as well - so photography forum is where it should be and this thread is all about that.  And if you have any other tips for photographers in the future feel free to share them - we are a community and there are people here who want to learn to improve their photography whether that be taking the picture or, like in this thread, in postwork :)

"In every colour, there's the light.
In every stone sleeps a crystal.
Remember the Shaman, when he used to say:
Man is the dream of the Dolphin"
