![]() I have this month a Zoom presentation to two camera clubs and a tabletop coming up. The file size created has become a concern of mine.Ĭhadp, workflow process is critical. This is also true of Topaz Sharpen AI v4.0.2įollowing because I haven’t decided on the best workflow for Lightroom classic with Topaz denoise AI as plug in. ![]() I do know that my Topaz DeNoise AI v3.5.0 will accept, and batch process the latest Canon CR3 files w/o prior processing. Yes, I know that step one does not apply. This is why they added batch file processing. Total savings for 52 files is 14GB or 45%.īefore you ask, why not go directly to DeNoise from Collections? I love “round tripping”, but it cannot handle too many files and interface with LRC. Note, while DeNoise allows you to select save as “original” format, it returns the process imaged as DNG. Sample file=64MBģ.ěatch Process creating a new sub-folder with processed files from DeNoise. Why? You lose the ability to perform the functions after changing software. Initial adjustments to images (Profile, WB, Detail\sharping=0 and Lens Correction Profile active). Selected Raw (Nikon NEF) images imported into Lightroom Classic (LRC) (as is). While all images are not the same size, in the case above 52 images (steps 2-4) would take up 31GB.ġ. The completed image is then exported in a JPG with a size of 4 to 6MB in itself. This is before LRC Collection “normal” processing. Using Steps 2-4, the image has a 596MB footprint. Sample file=260MBĤ.ěatch Process creating a new sub-folder with processed files. Sample file=76MBģ.Ğxport all images to TIFF (Compression=None, Color Space=ProPhoto RGB, Bit Depth=16 bits/component) folder. ![]() Selected Raw (Nikon NEF) images and convert to Adobe DNG via Lightroom Classic (LRC) import. Problem, current process is taking up to much real estate (disk space – yes, I have multiple TB drives).ġ. Mission – batch process numerous images via Topaz DeNoise. Take a minute and read the “standard workflow” and then suggested changes. It could be I am missing the obvious or lack of intelligence but humor me. I about to make a presentation to several groups and have discovered a flaw in my processing. But for me, it is less desirable than an NR tool that offers me more localized control.UHH, need your help. PureRaw does a fine job, but does its "take it or leave it" approach to these issues really reduce its overall value? THAT is something each of us ultimately must decide for ourselves. I have recently learned that Lr's noise reduction has this ability as well. That doesn't mean I'm going to get rid of my Topaz tools though, they are paid for, and they might have some value for SOME photos.īoth On1 and the Topaz tools have the ability to selectively mask areas of the photos for NR and sharpness, and then subsequently modify overall sharpness and NR if it isn't perfect. I recently bought On and I am quite satisfied with it's ability to control noise and sharpness in high ISO ORF files. But I do think they ultimately lead to false assessments of overall value. These things are fun to view and fun to make. The biggest problem with these types of articles is that they bog us down in minute differences when the truth is, all "AI" software of this sort is good enough for most people and most uses. That hasn't happened before the update ever and i eas just zooming in and out to compare the results. ![]() By the way LRC crashed my MacBook twice I mean completely nothing not even the mouse worked and then restarted by itself. So this was not a a picture with bad noise and i know that Topaz DeNoise AI does a really good jobeven with a lot of noise and i do use the Sharpen AI sometimes as well and works great. Speed wise i would say LRC DeNoise AI was a little faster, but not better in the end result. LRC doesn't give you much settings to change. So if i compare all three Topaz is still the winner because it not only removed noise but add sharpness to the picture and i can change settings if i don't like the results. Topaz DeNoise AI removed Noise and contained sharpness a touch better then LRC DeNoise AI. New LRC DeNoise AI removed Noise very welland fast, but still a little soft when zooming in. Denoise manual in LRC removed most of the noise, but made picture soft as well. noise wasn't to bad on the picture, but there was some. The picture i used foe now was shoot indoors with a Nikon D750 no flash ISO set to Auto -> 4500, tamron dx 18-400mm set to 35mm, f5.6 and speed to 1/320 sec (all manuel except iso). So I updated LRC just now to see how this new DeNoise Ai works. I have been using Topaz DeNoise AI and Topaz Sharpen AI about a year now and really like the results.
