For this type of subject, Clear really did a fantastic job. It's not
too dissimilar to "Color Noise Reduction" in Lightroom on older Kodak
and Panasonic sensor'd cameras. (Lightroom's Color Noise Reduction is
far less effective with modern SONY or Canon based sensors). In your
rollover comparison, this looks like a film comparison between Kodak
Portra 160 and Gold 400.
I think the DXO sample looked pretty good too. Honestly, the results
look about like what I get with Lightroom.
The best part of what Clear did was effectively color rebalance the
picture by removing the effect of the color noise in the image. This
is no easy task as the color balance of the noise changes based on ISO
and source lighting. You can normally remove the induced colorcast
from the noise, but it typically leaves the image rather depleted of
intelligent life. This sample shows otherwise.
Sweet.
BTW, I wear earrings, but my holes are in the traditional spots. Her
holes are up where it really hurts. Cute, though.
