Thanks

None of the pictures are showing up for me. Could you try uploading them to another site?

Sorry about that... fixed. :)

If it isn't too much trouble, can I take a look at the raw you used?

Of the three, I'd say the the third one is the best. However, there are some places where it could be improved.

1. The blacks aren't completely black. This can probably be fixed if you run topaz denoise on the light setting, level it a bit, and ink the rest manually.

2. The grays are a bit dirty. This can be fixed by running Topaz clean.

It looks to me like you were cleaning a page that was already precleaned. Try using an untouched raw next time.

Hmmm, thanks for the review. ...the raw is the 1st image...well.. not really a raw... but it is the one i used to clean.. :)

I figured as much ^^

Precleaned pages like the one you used aren't really good for practicing. Try this one.
