And free for prior owners of their DeNoise plugin or owners of AI Clear.

Tried it, reasonably fast, but too aggressive at default settings on a Fuji RAW file, over sharpened hair and other details.  Must check it out further and see what it functions like dialed back.

I agree, it's a tad aggressive (not only at defaults). But that's where the "Restore Detail" slider control comes in. It sort of blends Luminosity between the original and the denoised version.

Cheers,

I have reviewed the trial version.
It is fast, but we need to play with the sliders to get good results. The default settings are not good always. If the image is a noisy one in JPEG format then the loss in details are more. So, better to feed the raw images.

Today Topaz sent out a reminder email to existing customers about the current DeNoise sale. Be aware that you can always save an ADDITIONAL 15% using this link and coupon code (http://plugsandpixels.com/discounts.html) for DeNoise or any other Topaz product.

As far as settings go, Topaz offered some suggestions:

"So how can you get the most out of DeNoise AI in terms of noise and artifact removal? There are three sliders you can control from the interface if you don’t like the automated detection. Pushing the sliders to the extreme level will not give you the best output all the time. If your noise level is low then keeping the slider in the lower range should give the best output. With DeNoise AI, you now you have more fine control on the output through the slider rather than just a few steps."

"This night image is very noisy, so we upped the Remove Noise slider, then added back in a little detail and sharpness to the edges with the Enhance Sharpness and Restore Detail sliders."

Really, is this what the intent of the For Sale forum is for...discussions? Let's keep this forum for selling equipment.
