I took this picture at the Museum of Modern Art in NY and I think it would make a cool wallpaper but it is really grainy. The black area needs to be cleaned up a lot. Can I accomplish this in Photoshop or would it be too difficult? A link to the image:

I would try and put a gaussian blur on there and maybe use the healing brush to clean up the background but the problem is the iso on that picture was probably really high so there isn't too much you can do.

Yeah, very high ISO. I played around with it and tried to clean it up. (Mind you I did it in literally 2 minutes, I wasn't nearly as accurate as I should have been)

How about this...

I didn't use a Gaussian blur, so everything is still sharp. I dig the pic.

Do you have noise reduction filter, such as imagenomic or noise ninja?
These filters do an amazing job of removing noise from digital photos.
