Super-noisy mouse

Though it was not screaming I noticed this kind of mouse and just had the time to have a “sharp” picture of it. It was super dark and I had to use to the 12800 ISO setting. Saw the recent posts about denoising and I was curious what you can do with it! :smiley:

Here are the SOOC jpeg, my edit + sidecar and the RAW:

Mostly just a straight application of modules. The only one I fiddled with was white balance.

Just really focusing on noise reduction here. For the first time I used non-local means auto in the denoise (profiled) module and it seemed better than the default settings. But I also did some denoising with the diffuse or sharpen module.

Thanks for sharing, and what a cute lil’ guy! Love the story told by that one ragged ear.

I tried a lot of different things to denoise, but the three modules that worked most effectively for me were:

[1] hot pixels to clean up noise in the darkest shadows

[2] denoise to clean up chroma noise and soften fine luma noise, and

[3]

color equalizer to remove remaining color casts

I wonder if (s)he finds it as lovable? LOL :smiley: Possibly a very close call at some point in the past.

I’m thinking maybe they stumbled into the wrong den thinking it was home. Too many fermented berries

My version…
