I shot this at a wedding and the couple love it and want me to do the best I can with it in colour.
It was shot at near midnight and lit just by ambient light and a nearby candle, shot at ISO 1600 F5.6 1/5 sec

The image is quite grainy. Can anyone suggest any ideas on what can be done to make the most of it ?

btw I have deliberately pixelated the faces to protect there ID.

Cheers

If you've got "big" photoshop, try converting it to LAB mode and putting a little blur into the A and B channels - and set it back to RGB before sending it to a printer or iit'll probably confuse them.

Alternatively, have a look at some on the commercial offerings like Noise Ninja.

Sorry, but I can barely make out anything in the photo bar the marque in the background!
 
Pics too small to tell much, but run it through Noise Ninja, Noiseware pro, or Neat image, all are pretty good.
 
Yup, pic far too small - I never understand why people post at anything less than 800 pixels on the longest side when that's what you're allowed on the forum?? :shrug:
