Smart smoother or Temporal cleaner first?

[soujir0u]

Which filter should I put first? Does it make a difference? Currently I'm using Temporal cleaner first followed by Smart smoother, is that ok?

Temporal cleaner should go after the smart smoother.
If you run smart smoother after the temporal cleaner, then it is essentially undoing what the temporal cleaner did (well, not completely undoing it, but at least a little bit).

Hmm ok, I'll do that from now on! Thanks!

Many people use temporal smoother followed by smart smoother followed by another lighter temporal smoother for heavy noise, which is what you seem to have. Also, I don't see why spatial smoothing would undo what temporal smoothing did, but if you only want temporal smoother once, put it after smart smoother.

Well, what the temporal cleaner does is locks pixels to a particular value. Then, the smoother will go and change those values from whatever the temporal cleaner set them to. The temporal cleaner still works if placed before the smoother, I just imagine it's not quite as usefull as it would be placing it after the smoother. And speaking of Smart Smoother, I have found that the 2D Cleaner works alot better than Smart Smoother does, although it takes about 50%-100% longer.

Speaking of 2D cleaner (which is a fine substitute for Smart Smoother). Just in the last couple of days an SSE (one for Athlons and another for Intel CPUs) optimized version has been released that is about 6 times faster than the previous version at the same settings, and even smokes Smart Smoother now.
