Noise Ninja + Sharpening = black 2-pixel-width line

Post by Pixel »

Hi,

I usually used Noise Ninja + Wavelet Sharpen (I didn't use the built-in Sharpening tool since Bibble, I think).
But recently, after reading that WS was really slower than the standard Sharpening tool, and since my computer is not really fast, I tried it again. I realized it was sometimes better than WS: for high ISO, I still find WS better, but for image like the one attached (see comparison_WS.jpg and comparison_Sharpening.jpg), I prefer the result with the standard Sharpen tool (even after trying to change my usual settings for WS in order to improve the result... if someone has better results with WS, I am interested).

However, with the ASP Sharpening tool, a 2-pixel-width line appears at the bottom left of the image when I use it (see attached file bug_bottom-left.jpg).

I found that, if I disabled Noise Ninja, the buggy line disappeared. So the bug seems to be there only when using NN and the built-in sharpening tool together.

Does anyone has experience something like this? It is quite annoying, even if there are some possible workarounds (crop a little, use Wavelet Denoise instead of Noise Ninja).

Version used: ASP 1.2.0.7

So that's where that line is coming from! Yes I have the same problem.

I found that using Wavelet Denoise corrected the problem: if you just activate WD (even with every parameter on 0), and use the Sharpening tools and Noise Ninja, there is no black lines...

Quite strange, but if you sometimes prefer NN to WD, it can be usefull.
