[AmbrotypeVisuals] Yes it has to be very frosty to show the contrast using axial.

[ToddPollock] right but a smaller light source really makes all the die polish lines etc pop. I'm curious too if with the right depth of field if it can remove scratches in the slab. It might not be appropriate for photos, but for videos where a mistake in the autocorrect in a frame here or there won't be noticed it might work very well if its fast enough to batch edit with. In the past when I did batching with PS though it seemed the majority of the time was just opening and closing files. There must be someway to multithread it or preload files.

[FriendlyEagle7] Ok, I did the photoshop edit. It does a bad job on coins in general, because it needs to be so exact for coins and the AI is just guessing on what is actually there. This makes some areas look super blurry and they aren't actually true to the coin.

[FlyingAl] was the part that wasn't true to the coin completely blown out in the original though? I still don't like the idea of AI generating anything. I can see using AI to identify the reflection and do noise reduction in the areas where there would be no dynamic range left, but if it doesn't throw an error and instead just does generative nonsense in blown out areas thats a huge nope from me.

here is a test of another dehaze tool that lets you tweak the size of the glare, but I don't like how it makes every scratch on the coin stand out

[FriendlyEagle7] Yes and no. I think a lot of people would still find using the AI to be unethical. Dehaze preduced a better and more accurate result.
