hi everyone here,

Would be glad to know what settings you use for denoise and sharpening in ACR.

Mine are 30/0.7/100/80, and 5/50/0/5/50 (for pics 100-400 ISO).

I'm interesting in other's experiences.

thx and regards,
Stephan

I don't use noise reduction built into in acr although it's excellent. I use topaz de noise at beginging/first step in ps, set at raw lightest for 100-400 iso then add touch of grain around 9 and fade in ps if needed. Depends on image edit - fade in ps. I use high pass sharpening at end around 0.9 but depending on image and output.....

It depends on the image (among other variables). Trying to reduce sharpening and NR to formulas is folly.
