Let me say hello as well. I have missed your posts, and not just the
lovely HK ladies you used to dazzle us with (though I do miss them too).
I have found Motion Blur not to work well, but I've used it lately on many
old film scans, so I'm not sure that counts. When the AI picks Motion Blur
on a film scan, it makes it actually much worse. I usually switch it to
the Too Soft setting. Once in a while Focus works OK.
As Moose frequently reports, DeNoise is very helpful. It should really be
renamed DeTails (although it does remove digital noise and excessive
graininess). Sharpen AI often adds very little to an image that has passed
through DeNoise's magic. That's my experience so far. Anyway, I agree
with your last statement.
