Admittedly I might be able to get rid of it or lessen it with NR but that will also damage any grain in the image. Again - it has increased the sharpness, but at unacceptable cost. It's added significant noise (even with "Noise Suppression" slider high, and "Extra Noise Suppression" ticked). I wonder if it's also designed for people who crop heavily? I wonder if it's set, or whether the "AI" makes a decision on it? If it's an AI decision, then the detail level is too low for me to see at anything other than 100% crops on a computer, or mahoosive prints. Lightroom has the ability to adjust the pixel granularity of the sharpening with its radius slider (so I can apply a bigger radius to larger pixel images to get eh same effect). This is at a detail level that's very cool, but I'd never see on print, and leads me to believe that the sharpening radius is quite low at a pixel level. If I switch mode to Stabilize, it starts to clean up the hairs on him. It's the sort of image I'd do very little with in LR (sharpness wise).

Zooming in on Dusty which is "acceptably sharp" already, Topaz does nothing on the "Sharpen" tab. Pulled this into the program because it has both a sharp and blurred subject.Ĭrow (black cat) was blurry no matter what I tried. Dusty (foreground cat) with Crow behind him OOF because of DoF. The Topaz text on the screenshots above illustrate this)ĥ600 x 4600 MF Scan. (Also for anyone looking at these and thinking they look blurry, the forum image presentation blurs everything with some compression. This is quite low contrast because it's straight off the scanner, no touch ups.

Like a dog with a bone, I grabbed another image and tried that.
