I haven't used hqdn3d for years, but at one point it was my routine denoiser for cleaning up DV video. Great to have it available for VDub2.

As for the Trigger Fish. Here are my Resolve corrected results. Again, just channel mixer, levels, contrast, mid-tone detail and a little sharpening.

See what I mean about the difference in coloration though?



I've seen some images of 'Titan' Trigger Fish where the coloration is more like the one in GOPR1596 where the stripe on the tail is

So maybe it's just the way the light picks-up/accentuates the colors, or maybe there are variants within that species with different degrees of pigmentation. I'm pretty confident though that both corrected clips are balanced to neutral or close to it. There's no way I could shift the balance to get the colors of one of the fish closer to the other without throwing the global balance out of whack. Maybe possible using multiple qualifier masks but that's somewhat artificial.

I'll see how well I can replicate those results with VDub2.
