Bill,

Why not literally 'paint in' the noise removal with the History Brush?

If you really want a treat, learn how to "paint in" noise removal, using 
blended layers.

Well that's it. When you reduce color noise for instance in CS2's
noise reduction function, you reduce color sat everywhere. Sometimes
that is ok, sometimes it isn't. 

Taking a snapshot of the noise reduction, undoing that, and painting
in the noise reduction where it is need isn't difficult and gives you
a lot more control. Blending modes can do it but it is a global thing
then not a selective thing. 

It is the same principle of selective sharpening or selective gaussian
blurring when those are needed. I do all this kind of thing on a
background copy that I can click on and off to see the progress.

Bob, I use a history brush on the original when I have full confidence that
I'll like the results and layers if I might like to revisit the amount after
a test print or if it might take longer to finish than the day I am working
on it. It is a little here, a little there some times. I do end up with
several versions of work files as I go through an image.
