Eric that is what is so good about this method it uses Masking so you have 100% of control look at my pix on the new 500mm lens blog of the Snipe with a drip, noise removed 100% from BG but not on the bird.
So does mine Graham. See above.
But I would question the result you got on my Coal tit above because to my eyes there is loss of detail on the bird? It's got that 'fresh make up' look I mentioned before. I am sure it's a question of degree whichever method you use.
The point is ....we shouldn't have to be tinkering with the IQ of a captured image. Never did it (or could do it) with film.
Sure we could do selective exposure adjustments and even introduce grain effects during film processing. But darkroom sharpening and removing grain were all signs we miss handled focus and chose the wrong filmstock in the first place.
