Demonstrate an emotional connection to those whose lives will be impacted by the transformation, and remember to listen to their concerns.

With neat image I find the photos that I take most effective when a small amount of 'grain' is left, this seems to leave image detail at its best.īut my very best results so far have been with using Topaz AND Neat Image seperately on the original file, layering the results from both and using 50% bleed through from each. Neat image doesn't remove all the noise quite so well, but it 'manages' it better in my opinion. For my moth and butterfly nature shots I dont go a lot on it, however with some subjects it looks quite good. It certainly removes noise, but also seems to remove a lot of fine detail. Just to say that I have also been testing Topaz4 with the A2 - and the jury is still out. I'll go see what I can find on Neat Image. That's why I was very hopeful of DeJPEG.Īssuming you find general settings from your manual noise adjustments of A2 images - a different "rule" than that used in Dejpeg, how would one automate/batch process that rule?īy "bleed through" do you mean setting transperancy at 50% on one or the other, and merging the files? Or something else?Īnd could this process with the two plugins (assuming Neat Image is a plugin) be automated as a Photoshop Action, that get's done while we watch TV?

'Your best Photo should be viewed with a biased eye' I'll be experimenting some more with noise control as the results have been most effective on my A2, also I'll see if there is a better result possible with these images and wood will be a good way to learn the manual controls The auto mode of DeJpeg appears to work so.so, it's just that I think a common or auto correction is only practical on very similar images, like social snaps, light, color and use of DOF presents special conditions for each image which would no doubt benefit more with manual noise controls. When making the adjustments I concentrated on the Brandy box and not the wood as that was my focus point.I'm sure with careful use of the manual controls in either DeJpeg or LR a better result is possible. ![]() I'm very much a RAW shooter when it comes to the A2 so DeNoise and LR are more interesting. LR3b2 is very much a manual process and learning effect and results is a matter of trial and error. It's clear that DeNoise is for raw images as DeJpeg is to JPG images so there would be a similar effect and result. I tried to keep my adjustments simple.I did not dwell long on each image.

![]() ![]() The second major function of the burn out is the investment - drying/curing. It vaporizes leaving detail in the investment to the extent guys talk about accidentally casting a finger print on something. The initial melt out gets rid of most wax but not all - especially given the molds can have all sorts of reverse curves that would not allow the wax to flow out. That is the 'burn out' and is critical for a couple of reasons. After taking the tray of wax out from under the mold, the oven is taken up to 1300F. The wax is melted out of the mold at under 300F, however this is just to preserve the wax for reuse. I'm far from expert, but have been reading about lost wax casting having recently bought a bunch of stuff. You mentioned you were going to try a pour today so i thought a friendly of caution in order. I'll be firing the foundry up a little later today to give it a shot.) Obviously, I'm going to need to make the plaster thicker on the molds, but that's going to be difficult when I'm having issues with the drying time. (Assuming it doesn't shatter when I pour the aluminum into it, I haven't done that yet. I'd rather not do it that way, as it takes a lot of plaster (several inches thick around the wax in all directions), and getting the final product out of the mold is going to be a bit difficult. That one was a massive one I made by pouring the plaster into a small plastic tub surrounding the wax model and letting it harden that way. ![]() I've got a bunch of molds made, but when I heated them to melt the wax out of them, only one of the molds didn't crack. So, is there a particular type of plaster I should buy? A better ratio of water to plaster than the one I'm using? Or is there something I can add to the existing plaster that I have to slow down the drying time? I even tried sticking one of those "As Seen on TV" Robospoons into the bowl I was mixing the plaster in, thinking that by keeping the stuff agitated, this would slow down the hardening process. If I increase the amount of water (1:1 plaster to water, or 1:2, p-2-w, or even higher), I either get the same thing or I get a soupy mix which has trouble adhering to the wax and will literally take days to dry enough that I can begin to think of adding a second coat. I can't even get a decent single layer coating on the wax before the plaster gets too hard to be usable. What happens is that if I mix the stuff up following the directions (2:1 plaster to water), the stuff begins to set before I can even get one small wax form (think Hot Wheels/Matchbox car, with a short, thick candle stuck to one side) coated in a single layer. I'm having a bit of an issue figuring out what should be the right mixture of water-to-plaster ratio, or if there's something that I could/should be adding to the plaster. ![]() |
