Since I photograph primarily birds, and Birds-in-Flight (BIF) with a D500 & Nikkor 200-500mm lens, I find that noise is the biggest issue.

I really like that Topaz Labs has had several updates of both in the past year, and each update seems to make the programs a little better.Īs mentioned by others here, Sharpen has some deNoise features, and DeNoise has some sharpening features. I have used Sharpen and DeNoise for almost a year now and I would say that I use DeNoise about 85-90% of the time and Sharpen the other 10-15%. I have DeNoise Ai, Sharpen AI, JPEG-to-RAW AI, Gigapixel AI, and (recently) Mask AI.

Experimentation, trial and error will be needed but again, I'm finding these tools to be of tremendous value. I suspect the logic is as simple as "don't sharpen the noise". Lastly here, though I tend to use Denoise more, but will also combine with Sharpen, I have found using Denoise first and then passing that corrected image through Sharpen AI produces better results. I have had a couple of frames where Stabilize has been the mode of choice but its use has resulted in more digital artifacts appearing in the frame which, in turn, need to be further cleaned up. In my experience so far I have found each of Focus and Sharpen to produce the best results. Similarly, with Sharpen AI set up a four-way comparison view for each of Original, Stabilize, Focus and Sharpen with a 50%or 100% zoom factor on the focal area of interest in your frame to examine which mode is most desirable for your given picture. FWIW, I have found Low Light and the main Denoise modes to be particularly effective. Digital artifacts may become more strident with some modes but it allows you to see which mode produces the most desirable results. These are the four modes and they can produce strikingly different results, depending on the nature of the shot you've pulled in. A couple of quick suggestions: for Denoise, consider setting up the comparison view with four panels of Original, Denoise, AI Clear and Low Light. I have been using both the last few months and pleased with the results.
