(Can't answer why I save as a psd versus tiff).įor the run of the mill images just processed in Lightroom I have saved several presets based on ISO. If I have an image worthy of the extra time and effort I will export from Lightroom into Photoshop, select the bird and then apply different sharpening/noise reduction to the bird and to the background, save the image as a PSD file which is visible in Lightroom. However I find that applying sharpening in Lightroom is ok for most of the images I process - it does result in softening of the entire image. I might be a bit off topic as I have not used neat image.

It seems as if when I close the image in Neat Image to transfer it back into Lightroom, it's not taking the filtration settings with it? I'm obviously doing something wrong in the closing/transfer process because after transferring the image back into Lightroom, I have to follow-up work in the detail panel and it usually makes the image softer and there's not much point in using the Neat Image software if I'm only going to stuff it up when I transfer it back.Īnyone using Neat Image that recognizes an obvious hole in my workflow? My problem is, if I then click on the image to magnify it, there's still heaps of noise present and when the image was in Neat Image, the screen was showing no noise what so ever and the image was nice and sharp with no artifacts or anything showing through. After that I click the image closed with the cross in the top right hand corner and then the image reopens in Lightroom. When I have finished the final 'Sharpening' process I then click on 'Output Image', wait the few seconds for the filtration process and then move to and click on 'Save Output Image' on the tool bar and in the top right hand corner the setting says "Ready, Saved".

My problem is when I transfer the image back into Lightroom. I have no problems transferring an image fro Lightroom into Neat Image and then no problems with results from either the Beginner or Advanced areas of Neat Image. I know that a lot of you use Neat Image as do I.
