Is using the AI denoise a bad thing?
So I use the denoise on some of my photos that are quite grainy. It definitely helps but sometimes my photos look too smooth and AI-like. Or other times it adds extra detail. I feel like I’m kinda cheating since it is AI, and sometimes it adds more depth to the photo. Could someone correct me if I’m wrong? Or give any advice? I have a few photos that I’m quite happy with but I feel guilty since the feature seems to be adding more detail
to my photo, it’s set around 20-29 so not very high
Edit: I mainly do wildlife photography and shoot in RAW, still new to this so my photos aren’t perfect and I’m far from being a professional
