How to use Highpass

I believe that “Grain Theft” technique is similar. Not using an obscure Photoshop filter thankfully.

There are a few ways to skin this cat.

Subtract the original from the denoise and then add the result back further up the chain to restore the grain.

Recently there was a post about how that gave less than desirable results in ACEScg.

Detain Regrain in Aces

Someone much smarter than me suggested doing a multiply and then divide further up the chain to fix this problem.

Sounds good but I havent tested this yet.
