Thank you.
Nothing that sophisticated
- Topaz DeNoise 4 called up in my old version of PhotoImpact 8 -
it was a single pass on that posted JPG ie: already resized, post-processed and highly compressed JPG.
That's why I was able to post that denoised version so quickly.
Used only JPG with light noise removal (the lightest level).
It may seem perverse - there's not much in it (to me) -
but I think I prefer the nosier shot -
as it is kind of more in keeping with the low light scene
(lower than street lighting)
reminds me of those Tri-X shots - but actually not as obviously grainy -
just shows how much technology has advanced -
we're talking about nearly 3 stops higher sensitivity, and in color.
