I picked the center of the image for the before and after illustration above. If you click on the image you will see a larger version and the difference will be more obvious. The overall &#8220;speckled&#8221; look in the before sample is the digital noise. It is most visible in the divider wall behind the band. Topaz got rid of most of the noise, providing a much cleaner, better looking image. The difference will not show up in the newspaper, but it most certainly will show up in a nice print.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<div id=\"attachment_31415\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/221219-Lamoni-band-concert-SL3-6062b-w8.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31415\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31415\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/221219-Lamoni-band-concert-SL3-6062b-w8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/221219-Lamoni-band-concert-SL3-6062b-w8.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/221219-Lamoni-band-concert-SL3-6062b-w8-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/221219-Lamoni-band-concert-SL3-6062b-w8-768x486.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/221219-Lamoni-band-concert-SL3-6062b-w8-474x300.jpg 474w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-31415\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The whole image resized for the web.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">You can download Topaz software for free and try it out before you decide whether or not to buy it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><em>Photo Data:\u00a0 Canon SL3 body, Canon EF-S 18-55mm lens at 31 mm. f\/8, 1\/60 second, ISO 1600<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><strong>Link<\/strong>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/?p=31420\">iPhone vs Canon Rebel SL3<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night I was photographing the local elementary and high school band concert for the local paper.
