I saw those posts at Pentaxforums and was wondering how much work there was to get the result johnbee was showing us. I downloaded a trial edition of Topaz Denoise and one ISO25600 picture from K-5 and tried myself. Here are the pictures:
http://album.heime.org/Default.aspx?albummode=Folder&albumpath=%2falbum%2fDeNoise "ubehandlet" = no noise reduction at all "lightest" .. "moderate" .. "strongest with debanding" is all standard presets in Topaz Denoise and no manual tweaking at all. Lightroom50-50 is with color noise reduction and luminance noise reduction in Lightroom 3.2 set to 50 "topazdenoise med personlig preferanse" = my personal tweaking with Denoise for five minutes. Some pictures processed with Topaz Denoise got a strange color cast. It's easily fixed, but makes batch processing more difficult if pictures end up like this.

A question thereabout Hi! I realize this has been discussed a number of times, so I apologize in advance. Most recent demonstrations of K-5 at very high ISO settings on pentax forums using Topaz Denoise were very impressive. I thought that instead of buying a new camera (which is out of the question at this moment and few more moments to come) I might buy (use a freeware one) noise reduction software to extend the effectively useful ISO range of my K-7. Presently I downloaded Topaz Denoise for the trial and it is very impressive. I wonder are there any alternatives or even better products? What would you recommend? Thanks.
