cool, silkypix is doing wavelet soft shrinkage? here's my result (not optimal gathering stats from just your one shot):
http://picpaste.com/denoised_01-9U4IYbUL.jpg [4.0M] and with extra chroma denoise in eq: http://picpaste.com/denoised_extra_chroma-W1XBZHwi.jpg [2.7M] and for reference the same file processed in dt without denoising (but same exposure): http://picpaste.com/input_01-kBP1IlAR.jpg [6.7M more compression, other was 20.0M] i was trying to match your exposure settings, you needed like +2--3ev? in general (at least for my camera) the analog gain (iso) is a better idea to use than the digital (+2ev in darktable) wrt noise. i'm writing a blog post and a new one-click denoising module that goes with it. i hope i can push it out before christmas, if you urgently need to get some photoshoot done which is blocking your pay for this month let me know. cheers, jo On Sun, Dec 9, 2012 at 11:36 AM, johannes hanika <hana...@gmail.com> wrote: > cool that works, thanks. will look into that later today. > > jo > > On Sun, Dec 9, 2012 at 3:05 AM, Michael Born <michael.b...@aei.mpg.de> wrote: >> Am 08.12.2012 01:00, schrieb johannes hanika: >>> To download this file you need to disable your adblocking software! >>> >>> :( >>> >>> do you have a non-malware place to get your example files? >>> >>> j. >> >> Very strange. >> With my firefox + adblock + noscript I just have to wait a few seconds. >> Then I can download the files. >> >> https://rapidshare.com/files/78270153/IMGP3139.DNG >> >> The Silkypix jpg >> http://rapidshare.com/files/3288236700/IMGP3139.jpg >> >> My DT result >> http://rapidshare.com/files/999961954/IMGP3139_04.jpg >> >> Hope, this works for you. >> >> Cheers, >> Michael >> >> >>> On Sat, Dec 8, 2012 at 12:41 PM, Michael Born <michael.b...@aei.mpg.de> >>> wrote: >>>> Dear DT users, >>>> >>>> I read several mailing list posts about noise reduction (NR), the manual >>>> and watched the DT0.9 screen casts, but I still fail to get good NR >>>> results. >>>> >>>> I used the following RAW to try the 4 NR methods of DT. >>>> http://www.fastshare.org/download/IMGP3139.DNG >>>> >>>> 1.
