This Great Egret must have a nest in the back of this island. Several times I spotted a dance here.

I tested the new Lightroom DeNoise function on this image. It wasn’t overly grainy but it was a good photo to compare with my current version of Topaz DeNoise.

My first thoughts are the LR function worked well. However, it takes much more time than Topaz, does not sharpen if the noise caused a loose of details, and running multiple images may not clear all the photos.

I’ll stick with Topaz for most images.
