Evaluation of denoise in Affinity Photo: Went to Nashville a couple of weeks ago specifically to photograph the skyline. I really messed this picture up. Shot at ISO 5000. Yes, I know.

Went to Nashville a couple of weeks ago specifically to photograph the skyline. I really messed this picture up. Shot at ISO 5000. Yes, I know. Should have used a good tripod. I tried to used Topaz Denoise AI but it would never load. So, I thought surely Affinity has a denoise function, so I tried it. The image seems to look pretty good after using it.

Comments please. What other flaws do you see? Be honest, I can take it.

If you want comments from a wide audience, you need to post a JPEG version.

Looks like you posted the Affinity file, so to view people must have Affinty... not everyone uses or has Affinity...

You would do better to export a JPG from Affinity and post the JPG image so people can view it directly.

I use Affinity. Softness is evident. I was able to open Denoise AI. Your denoise manipulation with Affinity Photo did a good job. Use Highlights-Shadows and open the shadows just a bit.
I used AI Clear but I saw no significant improvement in clarity.
I agree, you could have done better using a tripod.
