But in my present state of ignorance, this looks like rather a lot of work. If I can learn enough about LR noise and sharpening capabilities, I imagine I can set basic + variant presets for all my (3) cameras and their commonly-used ISOs, in time. I found that the Neat Image presets that it automatically derives are very good for many but not all subjects, so I do have a couple of variants from it's recommendations (mostly to apply less sharpening). Neat Image is a filter designed to reduce visible noise and grain in. Perhaps the first step is to peruse Mrs Queen's "Missing FAQ" book, that I've just bought and downloaded, to obtain a better understanding of what can be achieved with LR. Neat Image plug-in for Photoshop 圆4 9.0.0. I suppose my problem is that I don't know enough yet about the LR noise and sharpening tools. However, I do already have some basic presets tied to camera model/ISO that include basic NR and sharpening.
NEAT IMAGE PHOTOSHOP UPDATE
Thanks for that reference (and the pointer to another place to learn even more LR stuff).Īs I'm still using Windows7 I believe I can't update Lightroom above V 8.4.
NEAT IMAGE PHOTOSHOP HOW TO
But how to get the best results other than by trial and error? I suppose I must read Mrs Queen's books very carefully. It would be more efficient (more pleasing to my natural sense of economy) to be able to use LR for everything, including NR and sharpening. ? My lazy streak is happy to employ the efforts of others. NET High Code APIs for PSD, PSB & AI file formats manipulation in Windows Forms. But perhaps there are similar LR profiles for various camera models. High Code APIs and Free Apps to edit Photoshop files. These too seem to (largely) provide good results. There are also user-made NR & sharpening profiles for many cameras at various ISOs available on the Neat Image website - although these are not for my particular camera, just for my camera model. It seems to generate very good results that are often better than my attempts in LR. In short - the automation of NR & sharpening. But the advantage of Neat Image to me, the lazy one, is it's ability to analyse an image and derive a good balance of NR and sharpening via its clever algorithms for a particular camera at a particular ISO. I can even save the settings as part of a profile for that camera/ISO in LR to use on subsequent images. I can use LR noise reduction and sharpening tools - as well as the clarity et al sliders - to reach a good balance of detail and un-speckled skies etcetera. /rebates/&252fneat-image-for-photoshop.
