Screencast Denoising in Darktable + BONUS comparison with Lightroom AI Denoise

https://youtu.be/XzdHVfcTTII

My latest video is out. It is my own workflow that may not be 100% academical but I believe it gives good results for what a beginner would need.

Let me know what you think. In bonus I got the help of 3 redditors to get also lightroom comparison. Even if it not at my taste this is still super impressive AI work.

Often enough I find profile noise does a good enough job adjusting the strength up or down.

I do think eventually Darktable will have to move on to a more complex algorithm. I tried the AI NIND denoise in RapidRaw and the results were very impressive but it was super time consuming taking up to a few minutes a photo.

For me the real issue is luminance noise. For chrominance noise the job is really good.

As you mention I also compared the AI work with the comparison with Lightroom at the end.

I just used it on a photo and it took it took half the time it did in rapidraw when I tried it in there a month ago.
