I took the bull by the horns and bought Topaz Denoise. It is working very well. Thank you all for advice and samples.

I use it mostly when I have a shot with high ISO (above 1,000)Hi Iain.
I got it about a year ago & think it's worth it.
I don't put every image through it as not all of them need it, but do find if used properly & in the right circumstances it can make a difference.
I haven't downloaded the latest version as yet as I've heard a few people have had issues with it so will wait until they're ironed out.
This youtube video is from March, 2020. I think you should check out Anthony Morganti's Youtube videos for something more recent.I use it mostly when I have a shot with high ISO (above 1,000)
Here's a good tutorial -
Very impressive!I have Sharpen AI and Denoise AI. Here is a Hawk shot at 1/640 which is too slow. Also I've used my D600 and 200-500mm G VR. I would have normally deleted the file but I ran it through Sharpen AI and was I ever surprised at the outcome.

I get free updates ever time they come out.topaz no longer gives free upgrades. i own version 2.3.X and will stick with it. I understand they need to make money on products but $60 for every update. nyaaa
Same here.I get free updates ever time they come out.
UPDATE:It's a really good product. However, 3.4.1 (newest version on Mac) is really buggy. Hope they come up with an update soon. It crashes and has to be reloaded. I've seen reports of this behavior in several other forums. Overall, though, I get a lot of use out of DeNoise.
The $60 is for 1 year worth of updates.topaz no longer gives free upgrades. i own version 2.3.X and will stick with it. I understand they need to make money on products but $60 for every update. nyaaa
