Next, I export the image into Photoshop, where I do any cleanup on the image that is necessary, and then I convert the image into a smart object.
I ran my 2 favorite plug-in filters, Topaz Clarity and Topaz Detail, after running Detail. It does leave more noise in the photo. Previously I removed the noise by using the masking portion of detail or using Topaz Denoise to remove noise.
My steps now is using the quick celestial action tool I select out the object that I do not want to change the noise in, refined the edge, invert the selection and paste the selection in a new layer. Then I utilize the surface blur filter to get rid of the noise. Once you get the hang of it. It really doesn't take much additional time and does an excellent job.
