The Matte Black Edition is the same camera as the K3III monochrome with a cosmetic change. The regular K3III mono will apparently go on sale very soon, but it seems a lot of people want to spring for the blacked out camera. bill On Fri, Apr 21, 2023 at 9:23 AM Mark Roberts wrote: > From my

I downloaded the updates last night. It seems to work really well. I tried it on an ISO 4 image from my K1 and the results were very good indeed. It pushes the high ISO possibilities we enjoy to the point of ridiculousness. Now we really can photograph black cats in a coal bin at midnight and

My computer is a 2015 iMac, but it has a 4 GHz i7 4-core. So while it’s not as fast as today’s best, it handles the ACR noise reduction in about a minute on a 33 MH dng. Paul > On Apr 21, 2023, at 4:08 PM, Toine wrote: > > Yes, I tried it. It does a very good job and a no brainer to apply,

Yes, I tried it. It does a very good job and a no brainer to apply, but very slow. You probably need a modern GPU, My GTX 1050 Ti is slow. Topaz is faster, can't decide which one is better, probably Topaz with some trial and error. It's very easy to create junk with Topaz. Sharpening in LR after

Has anyone else on the list tried this? It’s a function in the latest version of ACR that is said to use SI for noise reduction. It does a very nice job. Still trying to decide if it looks natural, but it can certainly save a noisy shot. Paul -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To
