My experience with the Canon 7DmkII at high ISO (shooting basketball at ISO 10000) was very similar, and I posted about this a couple of weeks ago (I'll forward you my email under separate cover). I was unable to get results anywhere close to what I could easily achieve in RawTherapee with Luminance and Luminance Detail noise reduction and sharpening with Sharpen Only Edges (which does a good job avoiding sharpening noise). My comparison shots are posted at https://rlk.smugmug.com/Photography/DarktableRawTherapee/ with the original at https://rlk.smugmug.com/Sports/Basketball/MIT-SarLaw-mbb-20161126/i-chq2xjG/A > I would really like to stay with Darktable (as I find the interface > quite pleasant and it offers a lot of useful features) but I really > need to have good colors and good noise reduction (at least comparable > to LR and RT) without too much tinkering. > > From what I have heard, it seems that Darktable noise reduction is > very powerful and actually superior to LR or RT.
