Athentech noise reduction introduces artefacts

[afx]

Neatimage is plastic mush and the PC image fights with sharpening...
Both are not that useful in my eyes.

The image is taken with 14mm 2.8 and the whole image is useful indeed. You are looking compressed jpg and 2% of the image here

My point was that line not the quality of the noise or image.

[afx]

What line?
I assume you are talking about tiling artifacts.
Can't see it in the thing you posted.

This image I posted earlier is even better example. Under nose and above flower. Yes this picture looks also blurred but thats not the point.

[afx]

Yeah, on the right side of the door, still do not see it in the face.

What about now when you click the image? Right above the eye.

But nevertheless its very visible on the second image. I have many many of these examples, maybe 10-20% of all images processed with this noise system.

[afx]

Yup, got it now.

So what happens if I open one of my thousands of pictures that were previously processed in Bibble 5 or ASP 1 and used NN for noise removal? Does my picture end up looking different yet again between software revisions? This has already happened multiple times when color balance changes were made for my cameras between software revisions, thereby rendering all my previously-processed images fugly and useless without more work. Countless hours of work, rendered meaningless.

Worst product for professional photographers ever made... any professional photographer who uses ASP for his work is just begging for an epic failure down the road.
