Re: PESO: Ile d'Aix

A very appealing image, Ralf. A lot of detail visible when zoomed in. Is 
a floating dock actually a dry dock?

Very nice. Good to see you’re shooting at night again. You always achieve drama.

Re: ACR Enhanced Noise Reduction

[lrc]

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.

Re: ACR Enhanced Noise Reduction Photos

[Matthew Hunt]

I just did a quick search through my library for high-ISO photos to try it
out. I was particularly impressed by this example, where the new algorithm
preserved the colors in a sparkly birthday party tablecloth, which were
completely obliterated by the old algorithm. (I didn't spend any time
fine-tuning the settings for either.)

Re: ACR Enhanced Noise Reduction

[Henk Terhell]

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 stacking, panorama, HDR and has excellent tools for sharpening and
noise reduction. However, many of my lenses are not in the LR database. It
appears that Adobe is making these days a lot of progress steps compared to
competition with subject recognition, improved noise reduction and now
Firefly AI. My conclusion is that it is time for me to switch to the Adobe
subscription model that will cost here 144 euro/year.
