Mike,
If that's not enough to convince
most people, nothing is...
what an improvement! I have been experimenting a
lot with it on different kinds of scenes and grain structures... it reacts very
differently if you take it off of "auto" and place the sample squares manually
in less dense "open" zones... it becomes much more aggressive. Changing the size
and number of the squares also affects the outcome, but not as much as where you
put them. My impression is that these folks have come up with a fairly optimum
"auto" mode for using this... it flies pretty good on auto-pilot.
My other impression is
exactly what you said... there is less blotchiness to this and much more
selection... I used to avoid blotchiness in PW with a strong blur but not much
power. This would attack the integrity of the image to some extent. This
software attempts to kill the grain without affecting the rest of the image...
it's the best I have ever seen and I have to echo your sentiment... worth the
$160.
Tony
