Most probably silkypix is denoising - I'm not opposed to that - what I was trying to explain is that there INDEED IS a problem with that red / brown / magenta "sand" when pushing darks in Canon RAW files. It cannot be denied. And according to those guys I wrote about: it could be 100% fixed by improving Canon-RAW processing routines. No, I'm not able to do that. Was hoping they gave enough information you guys could use to apply a few changes. PO> Yes, but you are not listening!

Anyway, I'm aware it's rather a matter of personal taste, but I'm convinced that after you examine both pictures again - and even more closely - you'll agree that this Silkypix-made is a little bit better. The one you generated shows the surface of car body as covered with a little scratches (zoom to 1:1 and compare). So you mean presently fixable only by denoising? OK, thanks - I'll explore Darktable's abilities in this area; I'm rather displeased with the way I was able to cure the problem using LR 5.7.1 (well, still not being "LR-wizard") - that's why I was looking for the software which do import, after which there's no need to deal with that red noise. Maybe they ware right that presently only Canon's DPP does it 100% properly. OK, will explore DT some more, how it handles such problems. -- regards, Zbigniew ___________________________________________________________________________ darktable developer mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-dev+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
