Taken today with my A7R5 and the 200-600G Sony lens. The Pelicans were a crop as the image was too huge to compress too much. I'm LOVING the color depth and detail rendered by this camera and lens.
Just got back from a 6 week long holiday. Finally got the chance to process the raw files on my PC and see the pictures properly. I am loving the details in low ISO.

Yup I agree. Fortunately I have ALL of the Topaz programs, Denoise, Sharpen AI and Photo AI so I"m all set. First I'll run the RAW through DXO Photolab's NR to see if it will banish the grain (I hate grain) but if it does I'll leave it there as the DXO profiles are superb. But if for some reason it was high enough ISO that some grain remained I'd run it through Sharpen AI with some slider adjustment added for NR. Always seems to do the trick. Makes noise a thing of the past without sacrificing detail.
Oh man the freaking detail is simply outstanding. Nothing makes things pop like Topaz. Its my last post processing move. Which is the icing on the cake.
Cross posted in Wildlife. BIF focus tracking worked great in pretty low light 200-600mm. Having the extra pixels to crop in is great. Topaz AI rescued the noise at high ISO.
Yeah I too love what Topaz brings to the table. It can easily banish any grain or noise and retain the detail. DXO does a fine job but on occasion doesn't completely irradicate the noise. That's when I turn it over to Topaz.
Never tried Topaz but have to say these images look really nice folks. I might have to try it. I do all processing in C1 and does a nice job but some of these are stunning with noise

Jumped in two years ago with Gigapixel when I started printing images. It's so good that I'm grabbing the rest of the package. Their upscaling model is vastly superior to Adobe's. Their noise reduction seems superb as well. Delightful surprise.

DXO certainly looks interesting, I may download it and give it another try.
Here are some examples using Photo AI. It's slower but sometimes clears better than Denosi AI.
Yeah Photo AI has been updating pretty much every week and getting better each time. I'm waiting for it to equal or best Sharpen AI in that regard. I'm pretty sure it's Topaz's goal to get there so it can completely replace their other programs as a "one program does all" concept.
