I also joined this forum to learn more about Lightroom and to offer help to those when I can. I am sorry that you do not feel the same way.Īs far as you stating that I need to get out more, I am not sure what your purpose is in saying that. I believe that information could be helpful. I simply spotted the error in error in questioning how a noise reduction application compares to a sharpening application and stated that the two are completely different and are not comparable. I am sorry if that statement somehow made you feel stupid. You can not compare the two." I had no intention of making you feel stupid.
Topaz denoise vs nik dfine software#
I simply responded with "Topaz DeNoise is noise reduction software and Nik Sharpener is an image sharpening software. I had no way of knowing if your question was the correct question that you wanted to ask or if you had made a mistake. I took your original question at face value.
I try very hard not to assume usually makes an a. I was curious as to what information he had gotten from your first post that I did not get. First of all, about which reply are you talking? The quote that you included above was a reply to davidedric, not to you. At some point (but maybe you haven't reached that point yet) you probably have to pick one and stick with it - that's what I did, and that's what Martinsen recommends to keep your head from exploding. I can't imagine anyone intimately learning all the editing tools that are out there right now. Ron Martinsen's article is worth reading. However his rating is no longer valid, it seems to me, since DeNoise and a few other utilities have been improved since then. He rates Topaz pretty good in a few areas. In his case I think he integrated it with Photoshop. A year ago Ron Martinsen rated Nik as having the best bundle. But if my photo doesn't require serious surgery then Lightoom is enough. DeNoise provides more control over the point that if you go further your image becomes cartoon-like, but if you don't go far enough the noise is distracting. Most of the time I'm satisfied with Lightroom's Noise Reduction. How many people are going to have both Topaz and Nik? I have the Topaz bundle integrated with Lightroom 5.
