![]() I searched for a wildlife photo that could use some sharpening, and I found a photo from 2015, shot with my old 7D Mark II. To this point, I was relatively happy with these new plugins, but after this something cropped up that completely confused me. The Topaz version has it again in my opinion, with simply more stars preserved while smoothing the noisy areas much more successfully. Here also is the Topaz DeNoise version, followed by the ON1 NoNoise version from last year. Night sky shots are difficult for these programs because they contain so many tiny points of light, but you can see that Topaz has accurately identified areas of the sky that have no stars and cleaned up the noise while leaving every point of light intact. I also revisited the milky way shot from my August 2021 review, so first, here is a screenshot from Topaz DeNoise which again provided very good results. ![]() Keep in mind that this is not an apples to apples comparison, because we’re comparing the results of a noise reduction plugin with a sharpening plugin, but still, I think you’ll agree that the results from the Topaz plugin are more natural, although we are looking at a microscope photo which doesn’t necessarily give us an everyday scene as a reference. I enhanced both of these a little more in Capture One before exporting them, but the detail in the Topaz Sharpen version is much closer to what I saw before my old camera adapter for my microscope stole most of the detail from me. Here too is the ON1 NoNoise Version from my 2021 review, so that you can compare the two. Remember to click on the images to open them in the lightbox and open up your browser as much as you can too. I’ll upload 1920 pixel-wide examples so that you can see a fair amount of the detail. But, I am pleased with the results, although perhaps still a little too sharp. Microphotography Example Topaz Sharpenīack in Capture One Pro, I quickly found that the base processing that Capture One does to bring out detail on images made it necessary to dial back the sharpening in Topaz Sharpen a little, and also turn off the default sharpening in Capture One to avoid overdoing it. I clicked to accept the watermark initially, but on the next screen I was able to confirm that I can save my images in DNG format, maintaining much of the raw processing capability that I want, so rather than spending time processing images that I have to reprocess later, I’m going to go ahead and buy this three plugin bundle and continue with a licensed copy. If you are going to provide a trial version it should be fully functional but time-limited. ![]() That’s a very 90’s technique for selling software. I’m not so impressed that the Trial version will not let me save a copy without a watermark until I buy it. I think the results are very natural, without any halos, despite cranking up the sharpening to 50 on a 100 scale. Wow! OK! So, I’m impressed with the sharpening! Here’s a screenshot of the first image I’ve tried, with the original on the left and the sharpened version on the right. OK, so I opened a micrography image that I cleaned up in my ON1 NoNoise review and quickly realized that the reason for the noise in that shot was the sharpening, as the original DNG file doesn’t actually have a lot of noise, but it’s quite soft because of the camera adapter I used for the shot, so rather than jumping to another photo, I’m going to switch to Topaz Sharpen as there is work for it here. Unless, of course, it surprises me with some obvious artificial intelligence, but I doubt that. Oh, and I think I’m going to stop adding the AI after the plugin names, as it’s a pointless marketing suffix. OK, so let’s crank up Topaz DeNoise and see what we think. You always can, but I think you already know that. I haven’t contacted Topaz about this review and will buy the plugins myself if I like them, and not liking them would save me $160, so you can rest assured that you are getting my full and honest opinion here. ![]() There’s a sale until May 6, 2022, which provides Topaz DeNoise, Sharpen, and Gigapixel for $160, a saving of $100 over the list price, so it’s probably a good time to pick these up if I am impressed. I’m starting with the trial version, with the intention of buying this and a few other Topaz plugins if I like them. Today I’ve put some time aside to sit down and check out Topaz DeNoise and Sharpen and will make notes and share my thoughts as usual. I was asked at the time what I thought of Topaz Labs noise reduction software and intended to take a look, but it dropped off my radar until this week, a member of the MBP Pro Community showed some samples of his tests comparing ON1 NoNoiseAI with the Topaz DeNoiseAI software. As I mentioned at the time though, I was pretty unimpressed with the performance of ON1 Photo Raw, finding it slow and clunky, despite wanting to like it. In August 2021 we took a look at ON1 Software’s NoNoise AI software, and I was relatively impressed with the results.

Here, John is struggling to cope with the World State’s lack of humanity and of the traditional values he grew up with. And then,” he added in a lower tone, “I ate my own wickedness.” In this exchange, people learn to love their servitude, choosing it over any dreams of revolution. This quote reminds us of Dostoevsky as Huxley writes that, in the end, people “will lay their freedom at our feet and say to us, ‘make us your slaves but feed us.’” In this society and in ours, people are comfortable handing over freedom to people in power in exchange for safety and stability. “… Most men and women will grow up to love their servitude and will never dream of revolution.” You have to do more than just be sorry for your mistakes, but there’s also no point in perpetual remorse. Here, in Huxley’s 1946 forward to the novel, we’re reminded not to roll in the muck and dwell in that guilt, but instead to make amends and move on. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean.”Īnyone who’s ever made a mistake, which is all of us, knows that guilt is a terrible feeling. On no account brood over your wrongdoing. If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. “Chronic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment.

And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. ![]() And, of course, stability isn’t nearly so spectacular as instability. “Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery.

The reason they do it this wrong way is because they were trained installing vinyl siding. Never should the window casing be installed over the siding like many contractors do today with Hardiboard. This way the siding butts up against the window casing. Window casings should always be installed before siding. Window casings provide a visual frame around the window.

While this might not seem like a huge difference, it does impact the hair blending and tapering process.

Closed will be a shorter cut, and open will be a longer cut.įor example, a closed clipper guard 1 will leave you with ⅛ inches of hair on your head. ![]() When the barber moves the lever open or closed, it’s a 1/16-inch difference in length.
