The other night, New England Central’s former Canadian National GP40-2L 3038 was working the yard at Palmer, Mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an opportunity for me to make some High ISO photographs for experimentation and comparison using the DxO Pure Raw 4 software to denoise and correct for lens defects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this situation, I was especially interested in seeing how well the software corrected for the high-pixelation of the image exposed at 12, 800 ISO using my Nikon Z7-II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are two sets of images. The first is a scaled camera NEF RAW file (plus enlarged detailed view), followed by the same NEF RAW file but processed using DxO Pure Raw 4 software. If everything posts correctly you should see four images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
