What are your DPP default noise reduction settings?

I had mine set to
RAW luminance: 2
RAW chrominance: 5

However, that was in v3.4 which had a scale of 0-10. In the current v3.5.2, the scale is now 0-20. Should I leave them at 2 and 5 or changed them to 4 and 10?

Thanks.

That looks extreme. Only with pictures of ISO3200 with that reduction.
0/0 is my default.

Actually, these photos are ISO 1600 or ISO 3200.
So are my numbers OK? Which ones? 2 and 5? or 4 and 10?

I should say it depends of the light. If you got a lot of light you nearly doesn´t need any noise reduction. Take a look at this raw file in dpp:

I use 0/2 (on a 0-10 scale).

Wouldn't know if the "new" 1-20 scale is the same range with finer gradations, or simply a bigger range, but that should be pretty easy to see...

I first (on a 0-10 scale) used 2 or 3 on chrominance noise, now (0-20) I used 3-7 which seems to be okay. So I assume you indeed have to double the previous default setting. But I do think 10 (or first: 5) is.... a lot.

Lum. default = 0, chrominance default used to be 2/3, now will be 5 I think.

Thanks everyone. Tried a bunch of different settings and I think the new 0-20 scale is actually a larger scale enabling more noise reduction (or more like smudging to me) and not finer controls.

I did some playing around with DPP v3.5.2 (scale range 0-20) and found that on a few ISO 3200 photos, luminance=1 and chrominance=4 works pretty well. I tried chrominance=8 and 12, you see slight differences; at 12 I started to lose lots of shadow details.

I took a closer look at the NR and I still think a NR of 5 or something near that on crominance noise is the setting I should use on hi-ISO photos. So I do think you've got finer controls instead of a larger amount of NR. My DPP seems to think I want a standard luminance noise reduction of 2, which is definitely too much. Even on 1 you loose a lot of detail.

So i'm on 0/5 with 3.5.2 :)

0,0 for normal images
2,2 for others
there is a big difference between 2,x and 3,x
