Cleaning how to get the grays like this

[[Cross]]

All the cool kids seem to be using Topaz Denoise 2.2 nowadays.

It's not Topaz. I am familiar with Topaz and there's no way in hell you can get that result from this raw:

@hatsuharupeace: I had someone from Binktopia clean the page for me about a month ago. I wanted something to look at while I tried to clean the page. Kind of like motivation. I'm sure you know him.

You could, maybe. I'll have a try with that RAW page, think you can send me the image file?

I probably do... =3

It's not Topaz or Neat Image. Trust me. I'm determined to figure it out though. Maybe it's another application. I'm downloading everything i can find. Still haven't tried Noise Ninja, I hear that's a decent one. If I can get to 75% quality of that page, I can die a happy man.

I still say the best cleaning is the stylize defuse and just set to multi and turn down the opacity. Or just leveling it and than just cleaning it with the burn tool which brings out the best greys but takes a little while to do.

Also there is a possibility that the reborn clean up there could be the topaz denoise filter. Its all about finding the right settings, though I still wouldn't use it since the art looks ruined kinda with that filter.

Ahhh, I see. I know the technique, but I don't know how to use it exactly. And it's Topaz, trust me. ^^

yeah i use that sometimes aswell but because setting it to multi i put in a little glasur blur in and then do multi then lower the opacity, makes it easier to burn on low quality raws. and at the end just sharpen it then fade sharpen.

Or just the defuse, since those extra filters will end up just ruining the art.

Try Neat and then Topaz 2.2. But don't tell anyone I told you, kids...

I don't think it too simple like that...

LMFAO no... Its the original greys but with a filter on it those greys were not repatterened.

You should really mess around with neatimage.
Sonezaki Shinjuu (Oneshot) was a result of a neatimage demo >_>. Forgot whether it needed neat image or not but I pretty much just fooled around with it for fun.

With Topaz 2.2 it's just two sliders so it should be very easy even for the most dense of you. And with NI profiling a completely white part usually yields the best results, at least in my personal experience. The sliders part should be simple in this case as well.

 

[sh1no]

it's simple guys
just use line pattern to make the neatimage profile
and then change the noise settings "figure it out yourself"
if you find the best setting, the result will be look like this
but now i use this grey technic

 

[thefolenangel]

nice new grey tehcnic, how do you make it :P

 

[sh1no]

that's secret
ask someone at ietmanga
coz they use this technic last week on katekyo hitman reborn
