diyphotography have a contribution of a longer test of noise reduction for different astrophotography photos.
Interesting long read.

Quite an extensive comparison! It’s too bad that most tests like this, including this one, rely on application default settings which can easily be over-aggressive rather than not-enough. But this does show that there are no perfect solutions: results can vary with the job. While I do almost no astrophotography, my own experience with DeepPRIME/XD (with default settings) on non-starry skies is the same as this tester reported: I have to watch out for mosaic patterns and false textures. So I tend to keep DeepPRIME and DeepPRIME XD set in the range of 15-30, not 40. Usually, 15 is fine, but sometimes more is needed to get good gradients with preservation of color and subtle grain.
Hi,
I am new to PL6 and want to learn more on some basic setting of PL6 for astro if you wouldn’t mind.
To get familiar with things, I tried to use some photos from DPreview, for example:
While PL6 did an excellent job cleaning out the noise even with a low luminance, it somehow turned the photo yellowish, for example with only applying DeepPrimeXD at 20 (and deadpixel automaically set to 52):
Great if you could provide any hints to make it look more like the original JPG in terms of color rendering.
