Eureka! I Finally Figured Out How To Eliminate Digital Noise In My Images!

This represents me smiling because of no more worries about digital noise but also remembering that even my emojis have to social distance for the safety of other emojis!

I don't know why it took me so long to discover the secret of eliminating digital noise in my images.  It is so simple!  No more worrying about a bit of noise in my images.  Much more enjoyment! I'm now sleeping better at night.

Here's what you do....

Don't look at your image files at 100% or more on your monitor.  Look at your files the same way in which you made them—in their entirety!  The same way you would look at a print, a friend's photo, an enlargement on your wall, a sign, a billboard, a magazine or newspaper photograph or any other photograph.  In its entirety.

When you composed your image, did you look at the overall scene to ensure it was pleasing?  Did you adjust your position, focal length, shutter speed, aperture and focus so as to make the best composition possible?  Of course, you did.  Well then that is how you should be looking at your photographs.  Not at 100% or 200% and pixel peeping every little square millimeter of your image.  Because if you do that, you're saying that is the way you want others to look at your images as well.  Or—do you want others to look at and enjoy your images in their entirety?

Enjoy your photographs in the manner in which they are supposed to be enjoyed and quit obsessing about noise and other inconsequential things.  I guarantee you'll be much happier with your photography.
