The Smooth Reflection is not named correctly, but should be called Multiple Image Merge or something like that. It is like having a new camera that has incredible signal to noise ratio RAW files. Great for low light too. The down side is that your image must be static. It is best to use in Custom mode and adjust the number shots.
Thank you very much, Charles!
Yes, I agree with you regarding the name of the app not being quite correct. The files become more malleable with better color depth and tonality. Plus, the signal to noise ratio shows improvement, too, as you demonstrated a few pages back.

A few from today--Schoolhouse Falls in Panthertown Valley, NC. Did not have a ton of time, but tried a few different looks. Any comments/criticisms welcome. I think I like 1 and 5 but my wife seems to like number 3....
1. With FE 35/2.8
2. Similar shot but with Batis 25:
3. Moody Side View Batis 25
4. Batis 25
5. Same:

Only thing I can think of off top of my head is a single shot to freeze the branch or whatever, then the SR app to smooth/blur, then layer in PScc to get the ultimate image you want. Maybe not logical-I've was on a fast bumpy boat for 11 hours this afternoon and am a bit jargled.

I'm trying some different, Just using Capture One V9 for everything to see if comes close on here.

Posted this in the Nature forum as well.
So, underground caving with Sony.
A7r2 + Lox 21mm. 3 shots focus stacked using Helicon Focus. Those were the only 3 frames I took and then crawled out.

The Voigtlander 10/5.6 gives some surprising perspectives and the lens itself is a winner.

I would have used that in the cave if I had one...

@luvwine: My favorite is #3 as well due to dramatic composition and pleasing tonality. The others are kind of washed out. Perhaps pull back a bit and continue from there? And, #1 + #2 especially scream for polarizer.

Thanks for the feedback. I was trying to minimize the reflections so as to bring out the rocks and did use both a polarizer and a ND filter (both breakthrough photography) on all these shots. The reflections were much more without the polarizer. I did just edit these on my laptop so I will take another crack at them when I get back home to my desktop.

it's a fantastic app. the noise in the shadows is dramatically reduced by the averaging of multiple frames which makes colors seem deeper and the images response to shadow lifting very different. sharpening is also very different due to the lack of noise to be sharpened. i love using it to boost dynamic range in the forest where i'm often coming close to 30s for an exposure that has enough dof. it's killing my lightweight kit though – my small lenses don't weigh the camera down enough to avoid shutter shock with the app so i have to either bring a real tripod or a heavy bean bag to put on top of the camera.
here is a shot i may have posted before (with the contax g 28mm), that i reprocessed to bring out the shadows more:

glad i'm not the only one who appreciates this lens, you are using it on the kolari mod right?

There is nothing special about this shot except that it was taken with the old version CV 15 on the A7RII. This lens failed to work on the A7R, A7R Kolari Mod, or the A7S. On this shot there was little vignetting and nothing that required extensive PP. The lens is very usable on the A7RII.

So 400 works well even with TC and adapter? That's impressive. Even tracking is good? In what mode do you run it? Wide with AF lock on for stuff like this?

As a part of the lens evaluation process for a wildlife trip to Costa Rica in 6 weeks - the lens used is Canon 400mm DO Mark II with a 1.4X TC via Metabones IV. The continuous AF is pretty responsive and it didn't have any issues following the target.
The chimps at the LA zoo put up a great show that day. There are several young chimps in the clan and they know how to make people laugh.

Wow... great shot Derrick !! The SR app really brings out the beautiful richness and depth of the colors in the forest. It feels like medium film format.
The shot is so sharp, but not obtrusive.
I would love to try the SR app in our local rainforests where the dynamic range is huge and it so hard to capture the subtlety of colors.

Interesting PP'ing technique !! Maybe even 3 different exposure settings +/- 1.5 stops with the SR app and then merge into PS. The application and different techniques of PP'ing are endless
