Final Bow (Kendall Helmstetter Gelner)

Stars On Ice, Denver, CO, Pepsi Center

Ice Skating Final Bow - this time, after a pass with the program "Grain Surgery 2". It really cleans up the ice a lot (especially if you look at the original size). I used a very light touch here with 100% in the red channel and 70% in the others, with three passes... I found using a heavier setting also reduced the reflections in the ice more than I liked. Grain Surgery appears to do a good job of cleaning up the noise without touching the sharper areas much at all.
