| Here it goes:
Image>Mode>select Color Lab
Then go to
Window>Channels
Select a channel
Go to Filter>Noise>Median
Examine a Channel and then blur
Select b channel
Choose Filter>Noise>Median
Examine b channel and then blur
Choose lab composite channel at top of channels palette to return to regular color view
Examine image and save.
If you blur just enough to blur noise, color and image sharpness will be saved and you will have very good low noise reduction (within reason) image. I found this better and easier than the noise reduction software on the marker today.
This info was from PhotoShop CS for Digital Photographers by Colin Smith.
Hope this helps my fellow shooters.
