dpattinson Posted July 11, 2010 Share #1 Posted July 11, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've always shot a lot of high-iso on my M8, regularly using 2500iso in low light. Having installed CS5 a couple of weeks ago, primarily because of the comments on the new raw converter, I'm very impressed with the improvement. The treatment of noise is hugely improved, makes 2500 look like unprocessed 640 to me. Well worth the upgrade cost if you were wondering, or hadn't noticed the comments which seemed to be mostly in the M9 forum and focused on Lightroom.

Advertisement Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 Hi dpattinson, Take a look here ACR 6.1 on high-iso M8 files... wow :). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
PasMichiel Posted July 11, 2010 Share #2 Posted July 11, 2010 Really? Do you have some examples. I now set my M8 with the auto ISO to a maximum of 640, but if I cn go higher it would be nice. I do like the Auto diafragm and Auto ISO. My M6 has not and it doesn't works that fast. Going inside and outside all the time without adustments. Really great having a beer and still be able to take pictures Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to see nasty parquet like patterns when using the previous version of ACR to reduce noise. Consequently I either used C1 or no noise reduction at all.

Marty Posted July 11, 2010 Share #4 Posted July 11, 2010 Totally agree ACR 6 noise reduction is incredible. Here is a comparison (on M9 files). First without noise reduction: ISO 160 ISO 640 ISO 2500 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted July 11, 2010 Share #5 Posted July 11, 2010 Finally, with 3 different noise reductions: ISO 2500, Nik Dfine 2.0 NR with maximum luminance noise setting ISO 2500, ACR 5 NR with maximum luminance noise setting ISO 2500, ACR 6 NR with maximum luminance noise setting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpattinson Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share #6 Posted July 11, 2010 ISO 2500, ACR 6 NR with maximum luminance noise setting Yep, lovely retention of detail in the ACR 6 one, which was my main beef with all the other noise reduction tools I've used. I'd rather have noise than 'plastic' tones. I generally haven't been going above 15-18 in luminance, and up to around 40 in colour... but then I like a bit of 'grain' in high iso shots.

ptarmigan Posted July 12, 2010 Share #7 Posted July 12, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Before we get too excited we really need to see some real-world shots, especially low light, low light in tungsten etc. I think Adobe have made some big strides forwards with LR3 with regards NR so I guess we shouldn't be surprise to find them making improvements in ACR too, I can't believe the two engines are significantly different.

stunsworth Posted July 12, 2010 Share #8 Posted July 12, 2010 I can't believe the two engines are significantly different. They're identical, it's just the interface that's different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
