Not every RAW photo needs to be sent to DeNoise AI at the beginning of your post-processing workflow. The real question worth asking is IF you should use the RAW model, and the answer is a bit more nuanced. That’s when to use the RAW model, and you have to use supported RAW files. Fortunately, the answer is straightforward: you should use the RAW model at the very beginning of your post-processing workflow.
#TOPAZ DENOISE 6 CHANGES FROM 5 UPDATE#
I spent a lot of time reviewing all of the comments left on our DeNoise AI v3.3 update post and our social media channels, and one of the most common themes-and source of confusion-has to do with when to use the RAW model. I recommend reading this article to learn more about how and why we built the RAW model. Both of these file types are classified as compressed RGB files, and while DeNoise AI can do great things with them, there is so much more that we can do when we source the original RAW data. This workflow requires your DAM first to create a duplicate file, often a JPEG or TIFF. Typically, you’d import your RAW files into your digital asset manager (DAM), go through a curation process, edit your picks, and then send the noisier ones to DeNoise AI. We’ve also loved seeing the noise-reduced photos you’ve shared with us online! We built the RAW model to deliver the cleanest possible noise reduction by changing the data we analyze. We’ve been thrilled with all the positive (and constructive) feedback on the new RAW model recently introduced in DeNoise AI v3.3.
