Is it possible to use these features locally in PS CS (such as in specific shadow areas) or must the adjustments be made to the entire photo? What about in CS2?

Thanks!

AFAIK, you can’t, you make selections in PS (which is what you were asking about…)

You did not mention anything about RAW in your OP.. If you want to use the denoise tools in the RAW converter locally, you can open a RAW as a Smart Object in Photoshop (no denoising), make a new Smart Object via copy of this RAW file layer, click it to adjust the denoising, and finally apply a layer mask (CS2+ only).

Sorry for the confusion. Thanks for the help.

You are welcome. Instead of the Smart Object approach, you may simply open two versions of your RAW file and composite them as layers in PSCS.

A couple of people have suggested that – once they understood what I was talking about <LOL>
