SIGH . . .
This was not, as I tried to say, about improving the photo. It was solely about how different NR tools work with various
kinds of subjects and noise.
I personally am not a fan of grain and noise. They have a place, but it's a very small place in my world. With DxO Prime
NR and NeatImage v8, the landscape of NR tools has changed fairly recently. Now, with Topaz Denoise AI, the change is
even more dramatic.
So, I'm interested in how they work for me. I recently posted a shot of an Irish fairy illustrating how differently
three products worked on a portrait shot @ ISO 3200.
The Berlin Wall doesn't loom large in my legend. I don't find pictures of it or of its fall particularly interesting;
they don't engage me emotionally. So when I saw this one, what I saw was the unusual noise pattern, I was slightly
curious as to what had caused the noise gradient in the sky and more curious how NR tools would work on it.
I will undoubtedly continue to play with NR tools. If folks don't want to see what I find, I'll stop going to the
trouble of posting what I find.

I prefer the grainy version, too. I do have Neat Image and Topaz DeNoise
and Nik's noise remover but I don't use them much. If I do, I fade the
effect by about 75%. I just like grain with film images.
The blue tint to the photo is air pollution which was terrible in Berlin in
1989. That's really what it looked like.
As above, and before, I'm not trying to improve your photo. Not that I'm not likely to make future suggestions that I
think might improve some of the photos you post, from my perspective. You do, after all, always sign off with "C&C
greatly appreciated."
But in this case, I don't see anything that would "improve" it to the point where it was interesting to me, as a
subject, rather than as a source for a technical exercise.
Sorry, Philippe, but no, I don't have to address the remainder. :-)
