Noise reduction compared to LightRoom

@Trickortreat Here it is: _IMG5577.DNG.pp3 (9.5 KB)

You need Kodak Portra 400 NC 1 -.png for film emulation and Rec2020-elle-V4-g10.icc from elle’s ICC profiles to achieve the tonality and colors. I then used the wavelet tool to bring back details.

one more thing. what effect do this tools have on noise:

  • local contrast in shadows/highlights
  • and sharp mask under same tab

tnx :slight_smile:

yes, a lot better. I’d like to understand more about the noise reduction you did here. Would you mind posting up your .pp3 for this one please?

Here’s my attempt at it.

A bit on the darkish side. Problem with this image is that you need some pulling up of mid and lower mid tones which induces more noise that can be troublesome to get rid of…
Deepest blacks are best left completly crushed to the left side of histogram
