Photography

I use it for noise removal and raw file "presharpening." Noise reduction works well on auto pilot, but bear in mind that I'm doing studio lighting mostly, of unmoving subjects, so it's unusual for me to shoot above ISO 100. Anyway, Photo AI annoys me because I need to set particular sharpening values for print quality, which PAI does, but then it restores its default values from auto pilot the next time it's run. I build images up in layers, so a single photo might make many passes through PAI, all with the same parameters. But PAI restarts each pass with the auto pilot output rather than remembering the parameters I told it to use last time through. I'm sure I can turn that behavior off. I just haven't figured out how yet. Meanwhile it annoys the crap out of me.
