Intel's Open Image Denoise 2.5 Delivers Solid Performance Improvements For GPUs

Intel's Open Image Denoise is the open-source project providing a high performance denoising library for ray-tracing and used by the likes of Blender and other renderers/creative apps for powerful denoising capabilities

Regression dans #Blender avec #Fedora 44 / #Gnome 50 : le #denoise n'arrive plus à utiliser le #gpu 😞

La version packagée dans Fedora arrive elle à utiliser le gpu pour le denoise, mais elle n'arrive pas à utiliser le HIP RT 🤪

Je cherche pourquoi...

[EDIT] Solution dans le pouet suivant

Denoise: LightRoom vs DxO PureRAW 5:

A quick down-and-dirty comparison between LR and DxO denoise. There is a very clear winner here.

Another demonstration of what #SharpenAI from #TopazLabs can do. You might want to zoom in…

The image on the left was taken in deep woodland at ISO12800.
The image on the right is after a pass through #SharpenAI.

It’s #witchcraft, I tell you 😳

📙 为**什么要持续构建信息输入流?**

财富差距源于认知鸿沟,投资必须知行合一。过去一年错过很多机会,很多次都是只差临门一脚,很可惜缺在执行触发机制不完善。其实每个月都能会有几次机会找到合适的标的。
完整阅读是提升认知的基础办法。推特上全是碎片化的信息,更像是适合发牢骚,碎嘴子的shitposting, 在币圈的场景下更是充满了噪音。或许对我而言推特最大的用途是一个有时间轴功能的便利贴式笔记本,可以随时翻看。但是要在去中心化媒体的内容备份@thefireflyapp 的Cross-Posting 一键分发内容,算是解决了一部分需求。要对所有不可控的事物进行预防。

Before and after.
I got this shot of a lovely #male #Siskin in the #SecretSwamp at #WWTCastleEspie this morning.
It was in deep shade on a dull day, f/7.1 1/500th at ISO8000.
Second image is after a pass through an old version of #TopazLabs #SharpenAI and a tweak in #AffinityPhoto.
Zoom in to see the difference in #noise.

#Birds tend to be small lurkers in shadow. This leads to high-ISO photos.

I have recently had good results using #Adobe #Photoshop Camera Raw's new #AI #denoise capabilities on high-ISO CR2 files. I have more keepers now, and I'm also revisiting old unacceptable files and resurrecting them.

I edited this ISO 6400 pic recently. It was made in 2014 at a Macaw roost at sunset, Pousada Jardim da Amazônia, Mato Grosso, Brazil.

(You'll need the newest OS if you're on Mac; IDK what's required on Windows.)

@morituri Ich hatte vor einer Weile mal die KI-basierten #Denoise-Algorithmen von #Topaz, #DxO und #AdobeCameraRaw (jeweils mit Standard-Einstellungen) gegeneinander antreten lassen. Das Ergebnis von Adobe erschien mir am natürlichsten. Außerdem ist es am besten in meinen Workflow integriert.

Der Vergleich war allerdings nicht ganz fair, weil ich Topaz als Photoshop-Plugin aufs fertige JPEG angewendet hatte, die anderen beiden aufs RAW.
@hoernchen72

Aw, man … it seems #Adobe has f****d up their AI-based #denoise algorithm with the latest #Photoshop update (25.0.0, macOS). Compared to the last version, the time for denoise has almost doubled. 😩
