Base Sharpening and Noise Reduction D800/E

Has anyone set up a base sharpening and noise reduction at different ISOs for the D800/E?
I had LR all set up for my D300 and D700 so the base settings where used at import.
Now I need to do it with the D800E and was wondering what others might be using.
Thanks
Jim

  • Missing Sharpen and Noise Reduction palettes

    I've just exported some pictures for the web from Lightroom 5 which had to be downsized considerably. I now find that the sharpening and noise reduction palette has disappeared entirely from the right hand tools panel. What's going on? I've tried quitting and re-opening Lightroom and also shutting down and restarting my computer. (Macbook Pro retina and Mountain Lion)

    If you are talking about the Panel in Develop, right click on any panel header and make sure that Detail is checked.

  • Disabling Sharpening and Noise Reduction

    Hello. I have Lightroom 1.2. I have over a 1,000 images to process. How can I disable sharpening and noise reduction for all of them without having to click that little detail box for each of the images. I use Noiseware for noise reduction and Focalblade for sharpening. If there is something in a folder within Lightroom I can delete to remove sharpening forever, please let me know. Of course, I want to perform the other corrections in Lightroom as necessary. Thank you.
    Francis

    Jao, Thank you. I have asked this question elsewhere before. I have recieved replies, maybe I did not follow the directions properly, but they never worked. The sharpening would be disableduntil I went to make another correction. Then back to sharpening Lightroom would go. Your way, sharpening is disabled for all the images and stays that way. Thanks again.

  • Are sharpening and noise reduction working in 1.0?

    I went to see if they'd made any improvements in the noise reduction area, and can't get any of the noise reduction or sharpening settings to effect the image at all. The settings definitely aren't making any changes to the visible image in normal or 100% view.
    I tested this on an ISO1600 image to make sure there was visible noise.
    Is anyone else seeing this lack of effect?

  • Sharpening and noise in ACR 6.3.... advice please

    Hi,
    Where can I find some good tutorial stuff (or other advices) about sharpening and noise in ACR 6.3.
    My camera is a Panasonic DMC-FZ8.
    Adjustments like color / blacks / contrast I can "see" on my screen (I'm satisfied until now).
    But Noise and Sharpening..... "that is a different kettle of fish " .... I have problems with it ... complex....(my std JPG is better than the RAW-JPG).

    Rules of thumb are usually made to be broken.  They might provide a good starting strategy in many cases.
    The thread I referred to is:  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/780678
    I re-read it and it doesn't have that much more info in it.
    Keep in mind there's nothing fundamentally wrong with an image file getting larger.  If you're short on disk space, new disks are incredibly cheap nowadays.
    A good rule of thumb (!!) is don't save, then open, then resave JPEG files.  You can do it once or twice in a pinch, but the compression artifacts will accumulate, as JPEG does lossy compression.
    If a PSD file is growing larger from save to save, it may be because you are doing something to the image to cause that - e.g., creating new layers, or sharpening it and increasing the amount of apparent detail the compression process has to deal with.

  • LOSING SHARPENING AND NOISE ON EXPORT

    My workflow goes like this:
    I use LR3 to apply adjustments, occasionally a preset from say VSCO....
    While in LR I use, PHOTO > EDIT This photo in - PHOTOSHOP
    I do my edits, ADD NOISE, SHARPEN....
    Then PHOTO > SAVE AS.....
    I save the photo to my external...
    Here is the issue, when I re-open LR the photo is then present in my Catalog and there in LR to be viewed.... from here I export the final size for web etc and I am done
    QUESTION IS:  The photo that is now within my LR catalog is missing the NOISE I am added completely, and the SHARPENING is gone, or much less sharp then the photo I have saved in PS.
    HELP
    Thank you very much

    In the PS-forum version of this message you said you were using LR3 with PS-CS3.  This is important.
    Because your PS is two versions older than LR, the ACR is not compatible, so using Edit In PS will create a TIF or PSD on the way INTO PS, right?  This TIF or PSD is what is in LR—the one before you’ve done anything to the image in PS.  When you do a Save As you are putting the results with your sharpening and noise in another location that LR won’t know about, right?  What happens if you save your output from PS over the top of the file that LR created on the way into PS instead of somewhere else, or are you already saving over the top of your PS input file and wondering why LR doesn’t show the changes?  
    The second issue is that the communication between LR and PS.  Without that communication LR has no idea where you did your Save As to.  I believe your PS-CS3 is too old to know how to communicate anything to LR—Adobe hadn’t implemented the integration back in LR1 days when CS3 was current.
    If you had LR3 sending images to PS-CS5 or LR4 sending to PS-CS6 then things would be compatible and communicating and would work how you expect.

  • Sharpening and noise defaults in the Develop Module

    Capture Sharpness
    I’m getting my head around sharpening and am of the understanding that there are three distinct phases: Capture Sharpening, Creative Sharpening and Output sharpening
    With regards to Capture Sharpening I’ve noticed that when I import a CR2 file into Lightroom 3.6 there is an Adobe pre-set in the Develop Module. Is this a form of Capture Sharpening default?
    Sharpening
    Amount: 25
    Radius: 1.0
    Detail: 25
    Noise Reduction
    Luminance: 0
    Colour: 25
    Detail: 50

    In Lr, "capture" sharpening is global sharpening, and "creative" sharpening is local sharpening (or sharpen masking on global basis but tailored to the image), or at least that's one way of looking at it.
    in other words, if you're sharpening raw data non-destructively, such that first round of sharpening isn't being baked in, there is no need to separate capture sharpening from creative sharpening, in your mind, or in the software you use.
    Put another way, the notion of capture sharpening comes from days when first round of sharpening was baked in, e.g. shooting jpegs, or in raw workflows where first pass yields a baseline tiff, and 2nd pass is artist's choice...
    That said, what's needed for artistic sharpening (creative effects) can differ from what's need for baseline sharpening (initial "capture" sharpening, if you will).
    Capture sharpening: just make stuff look reasonably sharp, since without it things don't.
    Creative sharpening: sky's the limit... - some people consider Clarity to be a form of creative sharpening...
    Note: since Lr's sharpening settings can't be varied (there is no way to apply high-radius sharpening in one region, and low-radius sharpening in another), and since its algorithm is aimed primarily at countering inherent and/or subtle/limited unsharpness, some people consider Lr's sharpening to be "capture-only". On the other hand, capture sharpening is, almost by definition, global, so since Lr supports local sharpening, and sharpen masking, those aspects can be considered "creative".
    In my opinon, it's best not to get too hung up on semantics/terminology, but in a nutshell, conceptually:
    * Capture sharpening needs to be done so stuff looks reasonably sharp, and is often done across the board, not dependent on image content (this is why most people apply a default amount of sharpening in Lightroom).
    * Creative sharpening is going beyond initial/default sharpening, generally on an image-by-image basis, although not necessarily. Note: it may involve removing all global "capture" sharpening in favor of no sharpening, or local sharpening only (raw data required).
    * Output sharpening depends on resolution and medium etc, and therefore needs to be done last - tailored to output device and such..
    Sorry if this post had too high of an answer to question ratio .

  • Upscaling and noise reduction in ACR

    I've been thinking about upscaling images and the best time to do so (if I need to of course) in my workflow. As I understand it, it's always best to carry out any noise reduction prior to upsampling an image, as this helps avoid increasing the size of any noise that may be apparent in the image.
    However, I'm thinking that in ACR, this in theory would not be neccessary as ACR would carry out any noise reduction and upsampling in a pre-defined processing order. So put simply, I could increase the image size and then carry out any NR as required after upscaling. This would allow me to tailor the NR to fit the increased image dimensions (and of course I could then carry out capture sharpening for the larger image as well).
    Is my thinking correct here - does it not really matter in terms of image quality if I don't do any NR before changing the image dimensions in ACR?
    M

    I did a lot of experimentation with upsampling during conversion.
    I found that - in my opinion - upsampling during Camera Raw operation yields superior results to doing it later.  I also believe that dialing in some noise reduction during Camera Raw is needed, as even low ISO images get pretty grainy otherwise.
    Every camera is different, but what I ended up saving for defaults is this, keeping in mind that I do my conversions to the largest possible image size, then downsample later for specific uses.
    Only you know what your goals are and what you like in your images, so I encourage you to experiment as I did with different combinations of settings to try to find the right balance.

  • Edge sharpening and noise: your settings?

    I am experimenting with edge sharpening. I have a couple of questions.
    1. How to lift and stamp JUST the edge sharpening? From the HUD it looks like all the adjustment settings get applied? (Do I need to do anything else but highlight the edge sharpening in the HUD before stamping)?
    2. What do you like for portraits as a setting in edge sharpening?
    3. What settings for noise reduction? My latest shoot has all kinds of noise (concert photography) due to 1600 ISO.
    Any advice welcome here! Thanks so much!

    1. All the settings under Adjustments will be stamped, at this point is not possible to select only one adjustment. If you are gonna apply the same settings to few images you can untick the boxes of the adjustments you don't want to copy to other images, then lift the adjustments (only those with the box ticked will be lifted) and stamp it to the others.
    2. Edge sharpening is a great tool, the best is to experiment and find the results you like. That depends on many factors as the type of photography, lenses used and even personal taste. Have a look at this document:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304536
    3. I don't find noise reduction in aperture any great. Only chroma blur for removing colour noise. At ISO 1600 2.5 setting in chroma blur does the job. Before printing I always bring the image to Photoshop and use Noiseware Professional, which gives great results.

  • Lightroom 3.6 DNG and Noise Reduction Problem

    Hello,
    I did a search and couldn't find this issue listed. I convert my Nikon D90 raw files to DNG. Never seem to have a problem with that except that the display(s) seldom shows the results of applying Noise Reduction (Color or Luminance). If my display is at Fit or Fill I don't see the results of what I am doing. If I zoom in to 1:1 or more, then I can see the results. All works fine if I am using a jpg file, it is just the DNG files that do this. If I want to see the entire picture with Noise Reduction applied I have to switch to the Library Module. Then when I go back to the Develop module the main display goes back to not showing the Noise Reduction, but the secondary display is ok until I apply another effect then boom, back to Noise Reduction not displaying. All of the other changes I make work just fine. It is just the Noise Reduction that causes the problem. This is really a killer when I am working on photos. This problem existsed before 3.6. Does anyone else have this problem? FYI - When I switch to the Library Module it takes a few seconds before the secondary display shows the photo with the Noise Reduction applied.
    I have a quad core 2.4ghz with 8gig of ram and Windows 7 Pro 64bit OS. Plenty of CPU and memory available.
    Thanks,
    Harold

    LR is designed this way to improve speed.  I think it varies, somewhat, with how high the ISO is where higher ISOs show NR more.
    I find this annoying, too, and which there was a setting to allow LR to compute the NR at lower resolutions if one chooses, instead of Adobe choosing things for us.

  • Do camera profiles affect sharpening or noise reduction?

    Do camera profiles (such as camera standard) affect sharpening, noise reduction? or just exposure?
    I ask because my default sharpening is 50 but I recently switched from Adobe Standard to Camera Standard

    No, they don't.

  • Applying Noise Print and Noise Reduction to Entire Sound File

    It has been a while since I've opened Soundtrack Pro so I can't quite recall a final step in a noise reduction process I'm attempting:
    1. I selected a portion of the track I'm working on that has just the tape hiss I'm trying to reduce.
    2. then I selected "Set Noise Print",
    3. then "Reduce Noise"
    Question: how do I now apply the Reduce Noise setting to the entire track and not just on the portion of the track I sampled for the the Noise Print? I can't remember what the next step is. What am I forgetting here? Thanks.

    It was so obvious that I figured it out immediately after the post.
    After "Set Noise Print" I reselected the entire track and THEN applied "Reduce Noise".
    Maybe getting a full night's sleep sometime would help me figure this sort of thing more quickly on my own.
    Bye

  • Noise reduction and sharpening in LR4

    Am I the only one that feels that the LR4 NR is inferior to that of LR3? I swear the only slider that does anything is the luminance and it is not as precise or powerful as LR3. The detail and contrast slders don't seem to do anything?? And as for the sharpening, the radius and detail seem to not do much as compared to LR3. Is it just that it is slower than LR3? I just feel as if I can't dial in things as precise. I am using RC1 with 5D3 files. Should I go for RC2? I heard is was even slower. Thanks

    As far as I know, nothing was changed in the sharpening and noise redution between LR 3 and LR4, so I think you are "seeing things" that aren't there...and yes, PV 2012 takes more processing than PV 2010 but the image detail (sharpening and noise reduction) should be the same...

  • Exporting JPEG = loosing Noise reduction and sharpening, poor quality compare to RAW

    Hi guys,
    I bought LR 5.0 not even a month ago and I was so excited to use it.
    Now that I am done working on my projects I exported them as JPEG into my hard drive. This is a disaster. My pictures are amazing in my lightroom as RAW now you should see what they look like in JPEG. I can't believe it. I obviously did something wrong but I can't figure what it is. My JPEG pictures looks extremely grainy. I did shoot at a High ISO for most of them. It is probably the real problem here but there's certainly a way to make it work in JPEG since it looks good in RAW. Please tell me what to do from there. How can I keep the same quality in JPEG than I already have in RAW? I choose JPEG - quality 80% or 100% (tried both) - sRGB. Should I resize the image too?

    Are you applying export sharpening, which would exacerbate any remaining noise-grain?  Are you judging the sharpening and noise-reduction at 100% 1:1 zoom?  You have to, otherwise, the resampling-for-display algorithms in LR and your OS viewer might be doing something completely different.
