Re: ACR Enhanced Noise Reduction

Using my 12gb RTX3060 video card, my denoise is about 20 seconds with a K1 file. The files from my older cameras such as the K5 are very fast, just a few seconds. bill On Mon, May 8, 2023 at 1:55 PM Toine wrote: > If you like to use denoise and hate the long wait: > Upgraded from a gtx 1050ti

Re: ACR Enhanced Noise Reduction

If you like to use denoise and hate the long wait: Upgraded from a gtx 1050ti to a rtx 3060 12gb. It took 4-5 min and now 4 sec. LRc estimate was 12min vs 9 sec. I'm planning to crank up the ISO for birding. Even nightjars should be easy. I got the 3060 because it runs very cool and quiet (the

Well, I set all of my cameras other than the iPhone to raw-only format output so I'm hardly one to complain about the size of a raw file. I use the Moment camera app on the iPhone specifically to allow use of raw format files with the 1x and 2x cameras (the 0.5x camera does not support

Re: ACR Enhanced Noise Reduction Photos

Very impressive. I guess the DNG files are much bigger than a jpg, but with noise recovery like this on offer it would be tempting to keep the output set to DNG. I read somewhere that jpgs may be supported by lightroom's denoise function in the future. Alastair On Wed, 26 Apr 2023, 8:00 am

There's a thread on the RangeFinder Forum in which the topic of Nikon F and F2 cameras is being discussed. It made me nostalgic for my old Nikon F Photomic FTn, which I owned and lived with constantly from 1969 to about 1976 or so. Which drew me to thinking about the early Nikon F plain prism

Henk, I was forced by OS incompatibilities to switch from LR6, and have to admit that there are some very nice features in the latest versions. The masking tools took a bit to learn, but are a lot more powerful, the spot removal is also a lot more powerful. On April 23, 2023 1:06:42 AM PDT,

I've been using quite some years now LR version 6 (the last non subscription version) in combination with Affinity Photo version 1. Working in DNG RAW and converting to JPEG and TIF. This gives me at very low cost a lot of flexibility. Affinity Photo has all the extra features I need such as focus

Re: ACR Enhanced Noise Reduction Photos

I used the latest LRC to process a bunch of photos I did of a friend’s CD release/birthday party. I basically did the processing the day before I moved, so I just narrowed the sets down to “proof” level. One of my final steps was to do a mass application of noise reduction. Some photos (wide

Looks good. Not at all waxy to my eye. (Which is admittedly worn out.) I have a lot of pics I shot at 51200 when I was photographic tavern pool tournaments. Some were pushed a stop or more beyond that in post. I’ll have to dig some out. Sounds like fun. Paul > On Apr 22, 2023, at 7:10 PM,

ACR Enhanced Noise Reduction Photos

I found a K5 file shot at ISO 51200. I doubt very much if I had in camera noise reduction turned on. The first image is the raw file at whatever defaults Lightroom opened it with. The second is with Denoise used, no other changes. I left a small amount of noise in to give the skin some texture. If
