Here’s a test case that I’ve been using for about seven years. First, PL7 with DPXD, Luminance 30:
Next, PL8 with DPXD2s, Luminance 30:
While moire patterns persist with some false color, there are far fewer artifacts in the PL8 image. If you zoom in a lot, you can see that DPXD’s artifacts are crazy. Regular DeepPRIME (not shown) is actually worse in this case. DPXD2s gives a smoother result with no horizontal banding and less microcontrast in the shadows. Too smooth? I don’t think it’s actually losing more fine detail than DPXD at Luminance=30 (I usually prefer a lower setting). However, while crosshatching is greatly reduced there is stronger false color and contrast in the moire patterns with DPXD2s.
I set moire correction to 100% in both PL7 and PL8.
