Z8 Photo thru the unopened kitchen window... She was covered with flies. I used LRC, the denoise function, to help with the stuff caused by the window and screen.

Very interesting Danno, but I can't see any difference between the 2 photos!!
I could not see any difference between normal editing and using the Denoise function either. The only thing I could see was only in LrC. The details, like the flies and some of the fur were lost, but that was about it.

I was wondering if anyone else could see any difference. I should have posed the question in the post, but that's what happens when the brain is not as good as it should be 😳

If you do a lot of denoising (Is that even a word?) of your photos, I would highly recommend getting Topaz Denoise, or their trio of Denoise, Sharpen and Gigapixel, if you haven't already.. I've been using them for about a year, and couldn't imagine post processing without them. I could probably live with just Denoise, but the others come in handy from time to time. I do mostly wildlife right now, and often shoot at high enough ISOs that I need to clean them up. The added sharpening is a huge boost from time to time. I no longer immediately delete photos that are just a tad too soft, either from focus errors, or subject/camera movement.

The new automatic denoise feature of LR is not bad, but extremely slow in rendering. Also, Topaz denoise will sharpen at the same time as it performs it's denoise function. I don't often have to use Sharpen, if I run it through Denoise first. Adobe may come out with features in LR and PS that will rival Topaz, but they haven't yet IMO.

I have been using the Topaz Denoise and Sharpen tools for some time. I have never used a Megapixel. I just wanted to try this function out. I agree that Topaz is better.

I do not use the tools often. I used them more when I took bird photos and Auto ISO.
