'''Article(s):''' [[12 Songs of Christmas (Etta James album)]], [[Blue Gardenia (album)]], [[Cedar Walton]]

'''Request:''' Is there a way to reduce the noise in this picture? I was asked to make this request during my good article nomination of the ''Blue Gardenia'' article. This image is currently used in three articles. Thank you for any assistance. --<font color="navy">[[User:Another Believer|<span style="color:navy;">Another Believer]]</fontspan>]] _{(<font color="cc6600">[[User talk:Another Believer|<span style="color:#cc6600;">Talk]]</fontspan>]])} 15:05, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Once an image file has noise introduced into it, you basically have two choices... noisy or blurry. The most common method for "fixing" a grainy image is to apply some manner of smoothing filter to it. Noise is smoothed away (more or less), but now it's blurry. Personally I don't think that's an improvement so you won't find me doing it much. It's like painting a face on a horses ass. It's still a horses ass... only now it looks like someone tried to paint a face on it. So my advice is to either deal with the grainy photo... or look for a better one.
