Thanks to Wayne @Wayne_Sutton for his help and translation.

It concerns the modules:

  • Sharpening,
  • Contrast by details levels,
  • Blur/Grain & denoise,
  • Denoise,
  • Log Encoding,
  • Color Appearance (Cam 16 & JzCzHz)

I put as an example in front of the introduction concerning “Denoise”.

This module is quite different from the main-menu noise reduction module for several reasons:

  • It is equipped with a non-local means or piecewise denoising module that only deals with luminance noise.
  • It uses the same basic wavelets functions as in the main menu Advanced tab, modified to increase the number of decomposition levels:
  • The number of luminance levels has been changed from 5 (0 to 4) to 7 (0 to 6) to better differentiate the noise reduction especially in uniform areas (requires more resources).
  • The number of chrominance levels has been changed from 6 (0 to 5) to 7 (0 to 6).
  • The following additional functions have been added:
    ◦ The DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) algorithm has been extended to the chrominance component.
    ◦ The ability to combine the wavelet actions with other tools for difficult images. For example, the Guided Filter, which will act a bit like a bilateral filter, especially for the chrominance part.
