PL9 - different colors depending on the sharpening used?

I thought the only thing that changed was the sharpening, with more details or aggressive sharpening in the case of XD2s, but this is not realistic, the colors are totally off.

Referring to your screenshots you used different denoising, but otherwise the same settings.

.

… I’m just going by the description of “ultimate quality and extra details” …

You must not cling on all marketing blubb.

Compared to the newer DP 3 / XD3 X-trans methods, which handle CA correction differently (!), DP XD/XD2s pulls out more details by default.

If the latter looks unnatural → simply adjust the settings.

Additionally you can increase the CA corrections to check if the color rendition improves (otherwise, use DP 3).

From PL 9 onwards you can adjust the general denoise settings locally

( see @LVS’ proposal ).
