So, I know this is controversial for some, but if your not interested in pixel peeping, just ignore it. I’m mainly writing this, because I noticed interested into the topic in other threads.
I did print the Lago di Garda image in larger size (60x40cm) on a nice paper, and I’m pretty happy with the result. The details a really shining.
Here is my final call regarding the diffuse or sharpen settings. I did watch APs 2h video again and did a revised preset for very fine details (see below). You can compare the results in these 100% crops. I show the ART version, the original version with the standard sharpen demosaic no AA filter preset, the version of @123sg and my refined preset (which I’m happy about, because IMO its at least as good as the ART version). Compare for yourself, but be sure to watch in full size.
For those interested in the DoS settings, here is a screenshot:
You probably can’t apply these settings blindly. Must tune them per picture, mostly with edge sensistivity and edge threshold, I think. If to strong, reduce iterations. Also combines very well with the detail threshold in the parametric mask settings.
Have fun!
