![]() ![]() 8, 9 or 10) and JPEG compression doesn't happen when someone views the file, just when they're opened and then subsequently saved in an image editing program including the Topaz products. Saving output files in JPEG format for viewing isn't usually a problem and is standard for web and email viewing of photos but for working files where you plan to do additional editing stick with TIFFs.īTW, that JPEG compression on saving can be minimized by selecting a high JPEG save quality value (e.g. This is what makes JPEG files much, much smaller than raw files or TIFFs but you lose quality with each time you open and save a JPEG and that drop in quality via compression can add up. ![]() JPEG files are compressed each time they're opened for editing and saved which means if you open a jpeg in an editing program and save it, then open it again and save it again then each time you do that the image gets more compression and loses more of the original detail. That will give you the highest quality and greatest bit depth to work with for further editing regardless of what editing tool you decide to use. tif (which is the same as a TIFF) and not as a. But it might be worth it to get the benefits of Nikon’s raw converter.Ĭlick to expand.If you'll run DeNoise as the first step in your workflow then save the file as a. Then save from DeNoise as a tiff again for further edits in NX Studio or your other program. Then run DeNoise as the first step after conversion, as Topaz recommends applying DeNoise early in your workflow. I suppose another workflow would be to convert your raw file in NX Studio, to get the benefits of Nikon’s raw converter, and save as a tiff. It sounds like NX Studio and IrfanView do not support dng files. If you are using DeNoise on NEF files as a first step, I would think you would want to save your file as a tiff from DeNoise to preserve as much information as possible for later editing, whether in NX Studio or your other editing program (Irfanview). Choose Original File to write the final data directly to the original RAW (.NEF/.NRW) file.” This option creates an accompanying adjustment file. ![]() Choose the Sidecar File when you want a non-destructive option that maintains the original RAW data. “For the first time, NX Studio allows you to select from two different formats for saving your final post-editing data. Interestingly, NX Studio will apparently save some edits in a raw format to your NEF file (or as most other programs do to a sidecar file): Then take that rendered image back to LR and apply your desired crop. I find about 3/4+ of the time I opt for the Denoise AI rendering. You can zoom in on a particular part of the image and make a determination of which rendering most satisfies you. You will also see a greater distinction between the three Denoise modes of AI Clear, Denoise AI or Low Light when you work with the full uncropped image. The programme can interpolate a smoother, creamier and less noisy background if you start with a greater sample of pixels in the given real estate of the image. It better achieves that when it has more pixels with which to work. I understand what you mean but think first what Denoise is intended to do.remove noise and smooth out the “digital grain”. When I dig back In my catalog and re-edit an older image with the Tooaz tools I now have, I make a virtual copy, remove all processing edits and, if a crop had been previously applied, uncrop it before starting afresh with the aforementioned process. Then take that rendered image back to LR and apply your desired crop.įrom what I’ve read and heard from others, this seems to be the optimal route. ![]() Click to expand.I understand what you mean but think first what Denoise is intended to do.remove noise and smooth out the “digital grain”. ![]()
