Traditional weak point of CR / Lightroom is the noise reduction. I found similar problems reported to Adobe 2 years ago but nothing has been improved. The noise removal and sharpening should be split between dark and highlight areas. It is obvious taht the noise is much more visible in dark areas of photo. The sharpening and the noise removal should be split into separate areas: dark and light. It should be really easy to implement basing on local corrections with luminocity range.

Although the sharpening is meant to only be capture sharpening, I agree that especially noise reduction is a weak feature in CR. I normally leave it until I can use a 3rd party filter, but would like it if I had more control over it inside CR. It should be one of the first things we do, and if I have a noisy image, I have to be careful to apply merely a very few global adjustments and leave the image fairly flat so I can take care of the noise before I make it a lot worse. I'll vote for an improvement.

I believe that it would be great to have seperate noise-reduction filters
