A question about the order of the filter

[qt4eva]

It is ok if I put the order of my filter in like this?

UnDot()
FluxSmoothT()
aSharp(0.4,0,0).aWarpsharp(3,1,bm=3,cm=0,thresh=0.99)
LRemoveDust(4,2)
DeGrainMedian(mode=4)
MergeChroma(blur(1.5))

or do I need to put it in a specific order for it to work best. Thank

That's a really bad case of filteritis you have there.

And by the way, we don't talk about "best" per forum rule 12.

Without knowing what exactly your source looks like, it is difficult to say which order would work the best. In any case, like neuron2 said, the filter chain looks pretty bad.

Light denoising -> temporal smoothing -> sharpening -> sharpening -> denoising -> grain removal/denoising -> light denoising.

Common sense says that you need to have your denoisers first followed by the sharpeners, and definitely not this much of denoising.

[qt4eva]

is there a general rule of what type of filter go first? such as denoiser, sharpen, smooth, etc.

Hi,

Unskinnyboy just answered your question: you need to have your denoisers first followed by the sharpeners...

so it would be more prefer if i put it like this?

LRemoveDust(4,2)
Removegrain(mode=17)
Degrainmedian(mode=3)
aSharp(0.4,0,0).aWarpsharp(3,1,bm=3,cm=0,thresh=0.99)
FluxsmoothT()

or should i put the smoother first then the sharpen?

[unskinnyboy]

or should i put the smoother first then the sharpen? Yes, otherwise what is the point in sharpening if you are going to smoothen the picture out afterwards? Not saying that this order should never be used, but usually no.

Another related question would be as to why you are using so many denoisers? Why can't you use just one or two and tweak the parms as needed? But anyway, that's your call.
