Hey!
Lastly, I've got some photos from a showcase that I did, and they are quite dark due to the environment and some other factors. As my 5D II isn't the best at 6400+ ISO and I were shooting at f/2.8 lens, they've got quite noised. In older version I usually managed to deal with these either by live denoise filter, or Nik software's denoiser. Lastly I have also removed the old Nik software collection as I were using it less and less thanks to LUTs and other techniques.
Now retouching these photos, at stage of denoising, I did a live filter as always and found out, that it doesn't denoise skin so good as well as some other areas. But it did a perfect job on a background. So I checked out the Denoise from the menu Filters -> Noise -> Denoise...
Got shocked as after a lot of fine-tuning, it did a good job with the skin etc, but was moderate with background, so I needed to combine both of the Live Filter, and the menu-filter Denoise.
The conclusion is: is there any option to have the behaviour of filters-menu Denoise, as some kind of Live filter that I can finetune if one day I come back and say would like to change the values, and if not, I'd suggest to add the menu-filters behaviour as a separate Live filter, or as a switch in the Denoise Live Filter, so you can edit it in any time.
If you need an example, let me know and I hope this give some feedback!
Have a nice day, and keep creating!
