The change from the denoise is subtle to my eye. Is the one on the right the post shot? CaliforniaPeggy Dec 2023 #2

Subtle only in the sense of being very good & not noticeable unless side by side Bernardo de La Paz Dec 2023 #3

I think the sharpening is perceptual due to reduced noise, not actual sharpening Bernardo de La Paz Dec 2023 #10

Anyway, it's a great photo!

Yeah, money shot. You knew we'd come running to see what that was all about!

Did you get my photo?

I'm impressed. Thanks to the Cat for posting the example.

Yes, denoised on the right. View the photo at 100% and it is easier to see.

appears to have been sharpened. Looks good, in any case. This capability seems to be spreading but has not reached Affinity Photo, which has evolved faster than my learning how to use it.

I don't see any sharpening aspects.

De-noising tends to make things sharper, if it is sophisticated. Unsophisticated de-noising tends to make smoother but less detailed.

The volume is so low on that video that it's barely audible on my tablet. (And no, the volume on my tablet isn't turned down. That was the first thing I checked.) The only words I could really catch were "Hillary" and "money shot."
