Noise reduction has improved in later years. I did test some of the plugins about a year ago and did not find improvements over what I could do in ACDSee. I happened across a review trying to compare with LR when using default settings and found ACDSee lacking -- I never use default settings.
Are you saying that the noise reduction in ACDSee is as good as Topaz DeNoise?
I say that I could not get it to function better for me. There is still the possibility that I didn’t figure out how to get the most out of the plug-in.
We are talking about Topaz DeNoise here?Just want to make sure.
Topaz Denoise AI (first version with that).
I have not tried something that extreme. I routinely use up to iso 6400 on my pana G85 - not known as the most noise-free camera around.
If people are used to adobe products they will not like ACDSee simply because things are working differently with menus in different places etc. I am not saying it is the best product ever but it is a product that works well for me.A Google search for Best Photograph Editing Software Best Photo Editing Software

If you believe that then you keep on using it. When the OP is already using a far superior product in LR6 and is asking for a good noise reduction package ACDSee is not even in the same ballpark. Yes I know you never said ACDSee is better, I get it, that just proves you did not use Topaz DeNoise correctly.

Well, you are certainly in love with the plugin. For your information, the first sentence in the OP post was: What is your workflow. That is what I started out answering.
