Thanks for sharing.
Some feedback:
I like your approach to link to others.
Sharpening and Noise Reduction needs a deeper view. In my experience most don't know exactly what to do (and in which situations). And it's also quite important to know that the default noise reduction is already quite a heavy impact. At least for my Sonys it's far better to start with something like 0/90/0 than 50/50/50. It may be different from camera to camera but especially the color noise should be handled carefully. I hardly go higher than 35 here.
I'm curious about part 2 and 3.
For example I would like to see the interaction of the different noise reduction and sharpening tools in part 2:
tools to reduce noise/casts
- noise reduction (luminance, detail, color, single pixel)
- lens corrections (light, distortion, chromatic abberation)
- lens cast correction (color cast, spots, light fall off)
- moire
- spot removal
- film grain
tools to add sharpness:
- sharpening (amount, radius, threshold, halo suppression)
- lens correction (diffraction correction, sharpness)
- clarity (method, clarity, structure)
- output sharpening (amount, radius, threshold)
