I normally put any noisy image through Topaz Denoise before making any adjustments in LR. However, I miss-stepped today so saw the AUTO TONE on the NEF before I reset to go to Topaz. When I came back and tried to AUTO TONE the TIFF file, the image was not as exposed as the AUTO TONE on the NEF. When I manually set the TIFF file to the adjustment values on the NEF AUTO TONED, the image still did not come back. Attached is the progression of images.
I have a number of questions:
I have a number of questions:
- Why is there a difference between the AUTO of NEF and TIFF? I see the color profile for the NEF is Adobe Color and only Color for the TIFF.
- Should I be adjusting the NEF before sending it to TOPAZ Denoise? Is the conversion from RAW to TIFF losing some information in the image?
- Should I be able to bring the TIFF file up to the same presentation as the NEF using the same settings? I think the answer is no but I'm trying to understand what's happening.
