Thanks a lot, I think this is the fourth time I watch this video. The first time was overwhelming and I couldn't retain any knowledge. I came back later to see specific things that I needed. But today I was able to watch the whole thing in one go and now I was ready for the knowledge. I was also able to appreciate your amazing pace and how well you explain things with so much patience. I really feels that you are holding peoples hands while walking them through the different concepts.

[@MRUStudios]

I learned so much about compositing by watching your video!
Thanks so much for sharing.
I was just wondering about this while watching, is there any advantage to using the denoiser available with the compositor instead of denoising while rendering such as using OptiX?
I know there may be a small performance gain if the denoiser is not turned on while rendering, but I haven't tested to see how much, so I was curious.
I always love your videos! 😃

[@RyanKingArt]

Thanks for watching! Yeah, I have tried that out, and I have found that the Denoise node is faster then using the Denoise in the render. So I always use the Denoise in the compositor instead.

[@MRUStudios]

@@RyanKingArt Awesome! Thank you for the response! This is great to know. I'll be using the compositor denoiser more in the future.
Thanks again for your fantastic content and I hope you have a great rest of your weekend! 😃

I was wondering "why use the compositing tab if I already know how to make adjustments in Photoshop". Most of the adjustments actually works best in PS for me, but the Denoise and some of the filter nodes are REALLY powerful. Definitel gonna use it in my projects. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@whitebeard1953]

great stuff thanks for n easy to follow (almost) tutorial, had to play bits back though LOL One question, how do you actually save your image file(s) and animation to a HDD? I may be thick but....

[@RyanKingArt]

In the output properties, set the frames to be rendered into a folder. Then Press, Control F12, to render out the animation. Then, in Blender's video editor, you can add the rendered frames as in image strip.
If you want to save one composited image, press F11, and that will take you to the Image Editor, then click on the top dropdown, and change it to, Viewer node. That will preview what the viewer node can see in the compositor. Then click on Image, and Save As. Then you can save your image. Hope this helps.

[@whitebeard1953]
