Quote - I am trying the refine pen. I have selected the noisy areas highlited them and applied importance pen. I dont see anything in my log that reflects this being done. What am I missing how does one know how much pen strength to add and why one would subtract the pen?
my method on my previous pic was...
select importance pen, cranked the sliders to half (cause I don't know any better), draw the areas to take importance (the picture frame), click apply.
The results did show fairly quickly, the original render I ran I stopped because the main image was nice and clean but the picture was so noisy you could hardly see the image, re-ran it using the method above and the picture cleared up much quicker than the rest of the image.
I'd guess the subtract pen is to lower the importance of parts, for example if you have part of an image that is not going to improve with further passes, you can tell lux to leave that part and concentrate on the rest of the scene.
Hth,
Abi.
