Hey there
i pushed my old Nikon d3 to max in low light
so now I have a bit to much noise
and when I try to reduce the noise I can't see much happining
so i was wondering if there is an other way to do with noise reduction
Back in Aperture I used skin smooth to get the noise out the photo
So there must be some other way to reduce noise

  Option 1: add additional luminosity noise reduction:
  - create an adjustment layer
  - create a mask (just 'Fill Mask' or 'Invert Mask' if you want to mask everything)
  - use local adjustments tab's noise reduction
  (Stacking possible)
  
  Option 2: local adjustments negative clarity
  - create an adjustment layer
  - create a mask (just 'Fill Mask' or 'Invert Mask' if you want to mask everything)
  - use local adjustments tab's clarity
  (Stacking possible)
  
  Option 3: global negative clarity
  - use exposure tab's clarity
  
  In option 1) and 2), creating a masked layer from a selected color range can be very helpful.
  Option 3) just softens the whole image.
  
  Hope this helps.

  Also you can't really judge how well the NR in Capture One is dealing with the noise until you zoom in to 100%. When you do, you can sometimes see the NR kick in after a moment while C1 calculates the result. (Zoomed out, it is just showing you an approximate result based on the preview, but zoomed in, it is referring bak to the actual raw file and applying your adjustment to it.)
