I edited an image I took of a Roseate Spoonbill in Newville PA two Summers ago using LRC's new Denoise and Curves adjustments offered in Masking.
I don't think I will be replacing Topaz Photo AI with LRC's Denoise in my editing workflow but I will be using the new Curves adjustments offer in Masking.
LRC's Denoise did a good job but Topaz Photo AI offers more adjustment. We'll see how LRC's Denoise improves with future updates.
