Re: Lightroom's new Enhance Details sample with Sony FE 50/1.4 ZA
I've been playing with Enhance Detail today. I think its main effect is to lessen artifacts. I think the perception of increased sharpness is sort of a side-effect of losing some artifacts. (Detail is clearer?) For me, the biggest improvement is in wiping out a bunch of fine moire and false detail. Not so good for bigger bands of moire. Enhance Detail also seems to very slightly lessen ringing artifacts. Not much effect on stair-stepping. Overall, it's slightly superior de-mosaicing; I'll definitely use it at times.
I've been experimenting mostly with already-processed files, with lots of existing changes, including BW filtration. All my files are made from uncompressed ARW files. (82 MB) The DNG files are all up around 200 MB. I have a fast processor and lots of RAM on my Mac, but do not have a super graphics card. I don't think that's critical. Pretty much all the processing of the Enhance Detail dng files is taking 45 seconds. I wouldn't buy an external graphics processor for this. But maybe if you do a lot of batch processing....
