Jeff, I start else where in dpp but yes that's pretty much where I am at, lol it will never take me three minutes, but hey that's me I wish
.
Brentor Jeff above .."black fox".has forgotton more about toggin than I'll ever know,seek his thoughts over mine. bro
For me someone not terribly gifted with post it's been a god send and something of a revelation. No I do not use the auto mainly AI clear, but with only a few controls and a constant way to keep updating, appraising adding in one slider at a time , it's iindispensiible to me already. If I can get my head around it most can.
Buddy i'm making images of foxes in my garden under continuous lights, there's a thread in the talk nature section. Most of those fox images are ISO 16000. topaz is a good part of why they look like they do FF nice body accepting I'm more asking you to look because they are so extreme you can jugde better than my words there
Topaz denoise allows me to get most of the noise out of my subject that's the key thing for me.
"B" what I've been doing is extreme shooting at night, so it's pushing everything. But as above I make images of roe and hares and the blumming things are active when the light falls, so I regularly shoot at higher iso. it's a really practical addition to my work flow that I'd recommend to anyone. you aren't loosing detail as far as I can see. I'd stand corrected but it's recovering details for me if I use it " well", of at least puts the frame in a place where I can work in more detail easily.
Buddy I stress my post processing skillsare not great, there are many more gifted here than I I've had time I'm stuck here, i've hammered it a bit ,I am very slow with things like this !!
but my very humble opinion it rocks bro, simple as..............
buy it................ learn it !!
