Watched the video, which was very helpful overall, but it left me with a question. I'll preface by saying...I HATE post-processing, but...I get it...has to happen. Anyway, I'm no expert, but I am able to get what I want to happen. I could probably get a lot more to "happen" if I was more savvy, but...that's another thread. Here's my question. I had read several other LR expert explanations of how to approach AI NR in Lightroom, and they state that it should generally be done first with no sharpening or adjustment to the image. Then, adjust and sharpen the DNG and go from there. That's what I have been doing and it's been pretty amazing. Steve is making some adjustments prior to applying denoise. He does a very good job explaining that this is just one approach, but I'd like to understand it a little better. Do you prefer pre-NR adjustments or not and why?
