Tweak - at the beginning or the end?

[1gnition]

Hey,

I'm just wondering, where in the script the Hue, Saturation, Brightness and Contrast adjusting should be. Is that before the CNR, chromashift, guavacomb and other denoisers or after?

According to the Doom9 big guide it should be after. But my common sense tells me it should be before. Because color changes can mess the artefacts a bit - increase them or decrease them. For example: if I increase the hue, the chroma noise becomes louder (or whatever). So what is the use when it doesn't get fixed at the right time?

What do you people think?

Hi,

I agree with Doom9's guide. From my experience its preferable let colour adjust for the last part. My (personal) explanation is that noise must not be altered until denoisers had been applied (to not foul them). But my main support is the experience.

Good luck
