I've been trying to learn to finesse an image with the sliders in the detail panel. Up to this point I've pretty much limited myself to the "amount slider" under sharpen and "luminance slider" under Noise Reduction and accepting the defaults on the others. Even in the best of exposures I'm finding that there can be some funky elements in the shadows. I'm learning that there's a whole new world of adjustment that I've been ignoring.
Under Sharpening the radius, detail and masking can really drill down on where and how the sharpening is applied. Under Noise Reduction, I'm learning to use the Detail, Contrast, Color, Detail, and Smoothness. Understanding how each of these work to has taken sharpening and noise reduction to a new level for me.
While no images are completely identical, I'm working to develop a preset that's based on "types" of images (portraits, landscapes, etc.) that will give me a starting point. Anyone else out there do this? Anyone else have any preferred settings?
