It did get a gentle run through Topaz Denoise which helped clean things up a bit, but otherwise it’s just Lightroom sharpening with a subtle radial Texture/NR/Sharpening adjustment added to help bring some increased definition to the mushy detail around the periphery - whatever lens was used doesn’t hold a candle to any of my Fuji glass. I’m not at my computer so can’t help with specifics.

Thanks, if it was anything past “standard” LR sharpening settings let me know.

Like I said, Topaz DeNoise was in the mix too which does tend to crisp things up nicely.

Personally I leave LR sharpening off as I find deconvolution sharpening in PS to be more effective. Sharpening the S5 Pro, however, usually requires a bit more kick than the settings used with Bayer sensors thanks to its thick AA filter and interpolated 12MP resolution.

This is 100% plain old Lightroom with (as before) standard demosaicing and sharpening. Being a RAF, I wondered if Iridient X-Transformer would work with it but, alas, it does not.
