Denoise is a different kettle of fish, and unlike many noise reduction settings, it seems to apply its effect intelligently, rather than a blanket noise reduction and doesn't seem to affect sharpness to the same effect.īased on the above experience I am giving Sharpen Projects a trial. B&W has far more presets than Nik to work from, for example, but if you don't like paying for software, then get Nik.

I use Franzis' Denoise and B&W Projects 4, and whilst they have a significant learning curve compared to more simple programs, they were certainly worth the intro price I paid. However, PS does not show it in the Filters menu.

OK, I downloaded the trial and did the install which puts an "8be" plugin in my Photoshop CC2015 plugins folder. I did find a trial download at the bottom of your linked web page, so will give it a try. I would suggest you only buy the software if you enjoy puzzles, and if they offer you an insanely low price.įrancis inspired me to investigate HDR, and to buy Photomatix.ĭon't know anything about them, but I'm a sucker for a new sharpening program. The English language "Help" file, is primitive and totally inadequate for software of this complexity.

I've not tried their sharpening product but I have tried their HDR and B&W effects tools, and found them both intriguing and too obtuse to use. However, until I got a solicitation in my email, I had never heard of them. The examples shown on their website look interesting and, at the reduced price, I am thinking of giving them a try. They do not appear to offer a trial version or, at least, I haven't found a link for one. They are having a half off sale right now at: Anyone have any experience with the sharpening software: Sharpen Projects #1 by Franzis?
