- Do you want clearer, sharper, aviation photos? This my new workflow using Adobe Lightroom, Topaz DeNoise AI and Adobe Photoshop.

I've recently started to use a new workflow and processing technique for my aviation images which I thought I'd share in this video. Previosuly, I just used Lightroom, but my new workflow is also using Topaz DeNoise AI and a high-pass filter sharpening technique in Photoshop. Both of these new additions to my workflow have improved the quality of my aviation images significantly by reducing noise, and increasing clarity and sharpness.
In the first part I explain my editing technique using my new workflow on one single image. Then in the second part I talk about using batch-processing to process multiple images to boost efficiency and reduce editing time.

This is a 2-year-old video now. Do you still use this workflow, or do you now use the AI Denoising within Lightroom? Do you now use Topaz Sharpening AI now?
You’re correct - it needs a bit of an update! I now use Lightroom DeNoise instead of Tooaz, it’s much quicker and easier. That’s just about the only difference.
I know this video is a bit old, but just wanted to stop and say thanks for putting this together! I've recently got into plane spotting/aviation photography and, by extension, photo editing in general, and this is a super helpful walkthrough of post processing!
Great video. Thank you for sharing you workflow and other aviaiton relatde videos. Do you still use high pass for aircraft on the ground. Wondered if you slect the aircraft before creating the high pass layer so its not applied to runways, grass, trees etc. which you might not want too sharp.
You mention that for a 24MP sensor like yours, you set your pixel width to 3.0. If you had a 45 MP sensor, would you set your pixel size to 6.0?
Great video. Why do you desaturate the layer you're sharpening in Ps? I've use an action for doing that but never desaturate.
Hi Jon, thanks for the comment. You know, actually, I've since discovered that I don't think you need to desaturate it. It was a technique I picked up from a stage demo at The Photography Show but I can't see how it makes any difference. I might start skipping that step myself. Good spot though!
@@sturousephoto I think the desaturated version produces a mask and so gets greater contrast with a grey mask. However if it works with colour then go for it.
awesome, thanks v much
You're welcome! Thanks.

Superb
Thanks 🤗
Brilliant video! 👍🏻
Thanks Olly! Glad you found it useful.
Using photoshop 24.3 RAW processing has all this built in - with a noise reduction & sharpening single option with several sliders for both noise & sharpening which means you can apply to all images open in the processing session. I typically keep to 100-150 images at any one time. I am also processing EOS R5 45MP no problem.
Thanks for the comment! There’s a new DeNoise AI feature in Lightroom too, it’s probably the same engine. I might need to make an updated video!
The unasked question would be why go to all that bother to edit an image?
I assume that you are preparing an image for print, otherwise it's a lot of pixel peeping for nothing if the image is only going to the web at 1600 pixels or so.
Interesting to see your workflow.
Yes, you’re correct, you don’t need to go to this extent for a small photo but this is for those who like to catalog the best possible quality or print the image.
I couldn't disagree more. I process every single image, even the ones from my phone. It has nothing to do with where you post it. Why wouldn't you want the best possible image? Also, I shoot everything in RAW, and by definition these images REQUIRE processing.
Yes, of course you’re absolutely correct. All RAW images require processing. I was suggesting that I don’t necessarily give all my images the photoshop treatment as shown in this video. So let’s say I end up with 800 keepers from an airshow, there’s no way I will spend that amount of time on every single one, just my favourites and those I will print. But they will all be processed in Lightroom to get the best from the RAW.
