Processing with Topaz Sharpen AI V7
The software (trial 30j) opens directly
the NRW file.
It permits 3 different processing types : Sharpen, Stabilize, Focus
Note 16b TIFF output are huge ... about
110 MB !
I won't put them here as you can obtain them easily with the Topaze Labs
Trial from the NRW file !
Shown below are the results after
many many trials using split screen, as saved in 100% quality JPG
and processed
with auto-adjust colors in IrfanView
:
SHARPEN, RB 0.90 SN 0.15
STABILIZE, RB 0.45 SN 0.30
FOCUS, RB 0.5 SN 0.70
The above results are interesting in term of detail but the reddish colors are far from what I saw with my own eyes !
Nikon Capture N-XD gives, I don't know why !, colors much closer
to the reality ...
Then let's open the NRW with it and convert to 16b TIFF
first
(for later processing with TL) !
Below is the result when settings no processing in Capture
N-XD :
and below is the result when processing
previous in Topaz Labs
STABILIZE, RB 0.50 SN 0.95
Finally I tried to mimick above result playing with Nikon Capture N-XD parameters
and got this image
(parameters saved in Eagle.nxd file ***) :
*** Just load the NRW in Capture N-XD the load the .NXD.
The final touch on above image with TL, FOCUS*** RB 0.30 SN 0.80 is my final result I am happy with !
*** FOCUS worked much better than STABILIZE in this case !
