Firstly, I did show a totally unworked on RAW conversion crop to start with. There were two sets of manipulated prints (bottom 4). The first one of each set is not sharpened, the second of each set is. It's normal to apply some sharpening after converting from RAW so I wanted to try it both ways. I know, it's all so confusing. I tried to explain what I did, but it's tough. Sharpening after smoothing has always seemed counter productive to me. It simply adds noise back in. The idea is to smooth without taking away too much of the edges and sharp details. I'm going to really work on Neatimage now that I've actually bought a copy. I noticed doing manual noise filters you can really check out each colour, high med, low noise and tweak while seeing the results on screen. I'm sure the results can be better than I have displayed, for that image and hopefully I can show you it in a few days when I've figured out Neatimage. It will also be an interesting test for some who have considered this program.
