![]() ![]() Both software programs offer noise reduction capabilities, but they work in different ways. ![]() My image processing has definitely improved in the past 6 weeks as I have made a concerted effort to get better at it.There are a few things to consider when choosing between Dxo Pure Raw and Topaz Denoise. I’m also sometimes only doing a single pass of high pass filter sharpening, at 0.2px, rather than 2 passes. I’m now finding that sometimes, I’m not adding contrast, or using opacity to turn the contrast down. I use a piece of software called “PixInsight” and it’s night and day better than Photoshop in UI imh9o not even close, but it’s a dedicated application for processing astrophotography images. I hate the way Photoshop does masks, it’s horrible. At least I’m using masks now, even if it’s not very good, or very efficient lol. I’ve tried the quick selection tool, but personally find it horrible to use. ![]() I’ve been sometimes using Topaz at the end of my workflow, and I’m now learning about masks, so sometimes I’m painting out the effects of Topaz on the bird where I feel that it’s way over sharpened the birds feather detail. I guess if you have a newer camera with much better high ISO performance than my 60D, ymmv.ĭo that, it is the only way to fine tune for your work flow. ![]() I have found DXO and Topaz to work well together and compliment each other very well. I do a minimal amount of sharpening in Lightroom too (+20). Interesting on the halos - I have noticed some halos on my images, and I do use the lens correction enable profile corrections option in Lightroom. I would make a decision which program to use for noise reduction on a given file, not both. If I used noise reduction in DXO PureRAW I would not use Topaz Denoise. It is generally used to get the best RAW file (DNG here) before final edits in a photo editor like PS or Affinity Photo. If you use optical corrections, noise reduction or sharpening in DXO PureRAW, best to avoid adding more in the photo editor, or you will get ugly halos from over sharpening and too much noise reduction. It does a very good job of RAW conversion to DNG, optical corrections, noise reduction and sharpening. ![]()
