Alternative NIND-Denoise Plugin for Darktable

my macos 11 focused arm64 build is without coreML since that’s just supported for macos 14.4 and later - for intel build there’s no coreml option.
You need to use the arm64 nightly buils provided on darktables github to be able to make use of coreML …

This Denoising really looks VERY promising and frankly speaking could be another piece of the puzzle for me finally leaving the Lightroom world (again).

What I need to figure out for me is a workflow, that leverages this denoising for crucial images on final export and how final sharpeing then will come into play. So any experiences, hints are welcome on how to optimize a workflow with NIND-Denoise for very high ISO images and how to finalize exports then with sharpening considerations.
But as said, this is a really really NICE adition to dt! Thx a lot for all involved !

There is a lua script to do RL sharpening on export…you could experiment with that and see if you can hit on a sweet spot …

I am currently on Mac OS. So not sure how this GMIC based export sharpening would work. So am not sure how to get the best workflow for very igh ISO images leveraging AI denoise and then resizing and sharpen could best be done on the Mac…

You could be right I don’t know much about the Mac options! Good luck finding your recipe…
