tobey bilek Posted June 3, 2016 Share #81 Posted June 3, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have been experimenting with M8 & 9 with good results. One thing that helps me is finding a preset I can reuse for iso 160 noise reduction. Enlarge to 100% and look at 125 grey . 50 NR and 50 detail seems to work. To me, if I start with a clean image, there is less noise after the push. The Nikon D750 which is a decent low light camera, responds well to iso 1600 and a two stop push to 6000. Same NR before push. I think things might be improved if I did NR separately on RGB layers in PS and then went back to ACR as a smart object for the push. Experiment as you have time.

Photoskeptic Posted June 3, 2016 Share #82 Posted June 3, 2016 The M8 is not all that bad at 1250. Some of you will remember when the M8 came out, there was a guy who shot quite a bit at 1250 because he liked the noise, calling it more film-like. But he was mostly interested, and the results were what they were because he converted them all to bw. I wish I could remember his name, but just can't get the grey cells to work that well. That said I mostly limited my M8 & M8.2 to 640. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also try using the luminosity channel in LAB. RGB channels conflate luminosity with colour information. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
