Do you use DeepPrime with the default setting 40? Would DenoiseAI be still necessary if you used DeepPrime at its maximum 100 setting?

Deepprime makes topaz denoise completely redundant. In some cases though, I've got even better results by setting luminance to 0 in deepprime and then applying topaz SHARPEN. It does a good job removing the fine grain left and enhancing the details.

I gave that a try, but it didn't work at all for me, at least with the test image I've been using.

Here it is processed with Deep Prime at 0 and maximum noise suppression in Topaz Sharpen AI:

There's still a lot of grain left that'd be instantly wiped away by DeNoise AI.

I really need to take some more high ISO shots for testing this, rather than just posting the same bird over and over again.

I guess I'm mainly a good light shooter with my M43 kit. I had to dig back over a year to find one shot that taken at ISO 6400. A lot of my noisiest shots either used my old Fuji kit or a smartphone, and neither open in DxO.
