Hi @TheBB !
Yes, that was a mistake. Thanks for pointing it out.
And welcome to the forum!
Thanks for the great video again @s7habo.
One question I have is I noticed you never seem to apply any denoising.
I have a Canon 7d and if I underexpose I always have to apply some denoising even at low ISOs when raising exposure etc
There are several reasons for this:
I always shoot in manual mode, so when underexposing I always make sure to have the lowest possible ISO values for the given scene.
I don’t mind if the photos are a little noisy. Photo does not have to look mirror smooth. The main thing is that the noise is not so high that it disturbs the main motif.
My cameras (Nikon D7200 and D850) have an excellent signal-to-noise ratio. I have to say that Nikon is still ahead in this respect. This has often saved me by event photography.
Excellent tutorial learned so many new things. Please continue with your B&W series.
@s7habo I see you have some diffuse presets…have you anything worth sharing from your experimentation with it
Sure!

Great! I’m desiring to experiment with that. Thanks!
Very generous thanks I will take a look at them and see how you have modified things……Thanks as always……
A brief note on when to use which presets.
Thanks
There are no specifications. These are simply different variations as I tested the module.
Hi Boris,
I’ve been working with the lowpass module a bit and an getting more pleased with the results. Could you take a look at a couple pairs of before/after images? I can post them to my web site and shoot you a link. Let me know and I’ll upload them tomorrow.
OK. Post the link.

Can’t post raw or xml to my web site unfortunately.
Thanks for your time!
Yes, the changes are very subtle, but you can see the difference.
Thanks for taking a look. Subtle is what I was looking for. It’s an interesting technique, and I see a definite use for it on certain images. I seem to need to go back to main exposure and boost it a bit after adding the low pass module.
Love your editing work Boris. How do I load these presets into DT. I know how to import styles, and how to create my own presets, but I’m having problems finding the import option for presets. Thanks
Thanks Todd - should have known where to look by now!
Boris
I would love if the next episode would be about black and white editing as you have hinted.
PS: thank you for all the effort and outstanding episodes you have done until now.
Best regards,
Yes, that will be so. I am currently a bit busy, but as far as I get more free time, I will do it.
