Re: Canon R5 help...weird swirls in images

Swirls on the left, Topaz DeNoise AI (Severe Noise) correction on the right.

Yours is the first comment that I've read that mirrors my own experiences.

I have the exact same problem with both of my Canon R3 bodies when I shoot in even moderately low light and try to edit the photos using Lightroom Classic. However, if I export the photos into Topaz DeNoise AI, and choose the "Severe Noise" option, I then get a muddy but noise-free, usuable (but not great) image.

I switched from shooting with Nikon for 50 years to shooting with the Canon R3, because I shoot a lot of auto racing and the R3 has great auto racing autofocus. However, I do not recall ever having this swirls issue with my Nikon cameras, up to and including my D5 and D4S. I sold all of my Nikon gear to raise some money to buy my new gear, so I cannot go back. With my D5, I was easily able to shoot in low light using ISO 32,000. With my R3 cameras, even photos shot at ISO 25,600 are full of swirls. The fact that you have not experienced this with your Canon DSLR suggests to me that it might be a Canon mirrorless issue.

I, too, need to find a solution to this problem other than the Topaz DeNoise AI bandaid.
