Is there an order to which filters are applied? I don't want to use a sharpener first to amplify noise then try to use MVDegrain 3 to remove it.

The sharpener I'm using is MSharpen, and I remember there was a usage guide to it. I can't find it. I used the default setting and found it too strong, how can I decrease the strength of sharpening?

eh, as long as you call one function after the other, you should be fine.

It shouldn't make too much of a difference, but if you call a sharpener first and end up amplifying noise, that'll probably give the denoiser a hard time. On another note, have you considered using LimitedSharpen instead of MSharpen? You can get halos rather quickly with MSharp.

I forgot about this thread! Just remembered today.

I'm using MSharpen on anime, which I thought is what this sharpener was originally designed for. I'm definitely open to suggestions though. Would LimitedSharpen be better than MSharpen for anime material?

No wonder I can't find it! It is in the package.
