As I think I understand this, y’all want the actual CR2 & Sidecar file to play with? Or just the CR2 file alone? I am taking the plunge, hoping people will be civil. I know my gear is old…
This would be the high-noise dog running in the backyard.
Let me know what y’all need/want in the future, but here is a Google Drive link to the files.
Howdy, @Vente
I am going to assume that the site doesn’t want a 26.8 MB file uploaded.
When creating the post, it brings up past posts that seem similar, and more than one person has asked where to host the large raw file. That’s why I used Google Drive. Was this incorrect?
The side showing older post is really very “cool”, helplful.
@Tim, you got the colors right. The fence was just replaced last month. The grass is a bit too green. Everything is dying here. The heat is brutal. But that’s my baby girl.
I felt the noise was always going to beat me on this image. I maxed out hot pixels module to get rid of the red dots. I used a tamed version of raw denoise module. Two different instances of denoise profiled and used the sharpen module for sharpening with a higher threshold to avoid sharpening the noise. This was all non-AI. 20260827_0024.CR2.xmp (15.5 KB)
Feed the non-AI denoising result into the AI denoising module in DT and applied denoise at 12% and sorry the result is terrible on this image in my hands.
Sorry for multiple posts but I hope the results are relevant in how to handle such noisy images. With this edit I first applied AI Raw denoise @ 34% in DT and then edited the resulting DNG in a similar fashion to my first post. I feel this is the best edit of my three here.
I kept mine normal as well but I liked the B&W look you did for this.
3 modules for denoising, and Diffuse or Sharpen to try to put some detail back.
I found myself fighting colour casts more than usual, with CB-RGB and RGB primaries.
@Terry@Thomas_Do@Tim@gwbarn
The noise was part of the image. I never intended to recover color and as much detail as y’all did. Which I must say is very impressive!
I wonder what it would look like if you took the results you were able to pull out and then desaturated them - just a little. Give it back that muted night feel. That’s something I should play with.
You’re free to use an external storage service as long as people can get the files with really large files it’s preferred…
Images are worse as they load on click and can consume data plans. If people didn’t compress images then the hosted storage would also suffer a lot more compared to just a RAW file at the beginning of a thread.
