Hi,

finally I made profiles for Pentax K20D; I'm not sure I did them right, so there are some questions:

1. My camera is set to Weak noise reduction for high ISO. I don't know if it affects RAW (someone said on the list that it is the case for some Pentax cameras).

2. File format for noise profile images

OK, I understood it as 1) apply raw linear style, 2) export from raw. What format should have I exported to? I tried exporting to 16-bit TIFF and running gen-profiles on them. The profile seem to be usable.

I also tried running gen-profiles on the original raw files, but the default base curve seems to be applied. The profile seems to be useful in practice (I don't attach it).

3. ISO steps

I tried profiling every half-stop (100, 140, 200, 280, ...). Didn't notice any problem with that yet. Is it ok to do so?

4. When I enable `denoise (profiled)' module, some generic settings seem to be applied. I have to select the right profile manually. Is it how the module is supposed to work now?


Impressions: denoising seems to be too strong at high ISO (> 400), wavelet denoising works better than nlmeans for me (produces less smearing, preserves texture).
