With the noise reduction, any visible effect would also obliterate any edge details, rendering the image into a mushy mess. Unfortunately, Lightroom's noise reduction and sharpening tools only made things worse. Unfortunately, that's where things fell apart pretty quickly, especially when it came to mitigating the extreme noise and lack of sharpness that these images suffered from. These were photos taken with cameras that I can barely remember using, but they held promise and I wanted to take a crack at editing them.
