[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 805313, member: 50197"] On a more serious note, I dug through some pictures I took earlier this year and found a suitable, noisy photograph. I processed it without noise reduction. Here is a heavy crop of it. [ATTACH type="full"]390955[/ATTACH] And here is the same photo run through Topaz Denoise AI then editing in LR with copy and paste of the edits. [ATTACH type="full"]390956[/ATTACH] And finally, the same image using LR denoise ai and identical copy and paste edits.
