Trying to learn how to (best) manage noise with shots in dark conditions. Your feedback would be appreciated. (Uploaded to my Google Drive original DNG and various JPGs at different stages of LR editing--file names captures what I did. Please access at your convenience.)
Are the patterns that run horizontally what are commonly referred to as "banding"?
Is this the best one can do with the image without further smearing details?
Thx in advance.
