[QUOTE="nikonbill, post: 824438, member: 47024"] At the beginning of this thread I mentioned my quest to improve (personally) on editing my work. I have had Topaz AI3 for some time and its addition has made me "see" better. Using it as a kind of benchmark for unlocking the capability of Affinity (much more user involvement) in my hands (I have much to learn). Here are two photos where I like both, I wonder if those that may happen by here would let me know if one jumps at you and why that is (all opinions welcome). I made an effort to get the tones similar in the two edits as they were both done from the RAW file (my objective/preferred way) I can see the pedal tones are not the same. Getting noise and detail and sharpening under control was my goal. On the Topaz sample only noise and sharpening were used. Note: if the resolution can be better let me know how (all at 1024 long side) [ATTACH type="full"]410608[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]410609[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]410610[/ATTACH] Thanks - sorry about the double "h" (it made me laugh so I left it) in the first sample [/QUOTE]
