And another one:
Topaz Denoise AI v3.6.1 Raw Noise Reduction & Simple Raw Therapee Process. (34:25)
This is, at its core, a video about Topaz Denoise AI v3.6.1, but it also shows how RawTherapee can be used in a very simple but efficient way. So, based on that, I decided to put this one up in this RawTherapee section…
Thanks for linking the video Jade.
I made the video because I found this clean interaction quite by accident if I’m honest. For the Ps users out there I’ve been promoting DeNoiseAI for quite a while now, as it’s a fast and non-complicated way of doing noise reduction in a layered Ps workflow - and I never envisaged there would ever be a meeting or crossover point with RT.
But somewhere in the last DeNoise AI update process I think they’ve changed something about their so-called dng output that suddenly makes it viewable in RT without that vile magenta cast!
I know this workflow will not appeal to everyone because from a technical standpoint it’s a little ‘bastardised’ to say the least. But being able to employ the superb input profile management in RT plus Abstract Profile on what is very good noise reduction (especially if you don’t use the auto settings like I did here) really does produce some cracking final output quality.
The only downside is the ‘hoops’ some folk would have to jump through to get hold of those .dcp files.

That module is rather powerful and you showing how to use it is the main reason I linked the video.
I do not use the Tone Curve part, most of the time. I like to dial that in myself. But from a quick edit point-of-view using that one makes editing rather fast.
I also know that there are some users on Pixls that use Topaz and might be interested in what you show/tell.
There’s an article on RawPedia [How to Convert Raw Formats to DNG] that explains, step by step, how to install Adobe DNG Converter in WINE when on Linux. Don’t think that installing it on a Mac or Windows machine is any trouble at all if I’m not mistaken. And although it is not FOSS it is free.
I don’t use the converter itself but installed it to be able to get a hold of the dcp and, just in case, lcp files. That is also the reason why I installed the latest version, even though it does not run in WINE (see linked RawPedia article). It does install and gives me the latest versions of the profiles I would like access to.
