Denoising color...

[priort]

Are there any transformations or tools to denoise color. I have tried without much success the denoise transform and advanced sharpening....could be my oversight or missing something??

Nothing built into PWP other than Denoise. It might help if you post a small sample. If noise is mostly in shadow areas it can help to mask the image accordingly. There will always be some tradeoff between noise reduction and loss of fine detail.

Other options are various third party plugins supported by PWP (Nik Dfine 2 or Topaz DeNoise AI) or using the noise reduction in whatever raw conversion software you may be using. I use DxO Photolab which has quite good noise reduction.
