been reading some of the comments hear with interest Eric this is the way I process and it stays the same whatever brand/model /lens I use .
I initially process in Lightroom c.c to get the crop/ colour /w.balance / sharpness/exp looking how I wanted it to look at times I over enhance the bird for effect as some can be rather drab in dull lighting ...
I then open image in p.s and usually apply one touch of brightness around the eye detail, next I use subject surround and layer the bird . the I apply noise reduction via a plug in to the background layer only . rejoin the layers and resize the image for the web normally at 1400 pixels on longest edge unless its a super pic .
then its simply a case of applying my copyright info to the pic and sharpening the bird layer in smart sharpen . file /save as usually to my desktop first .
in my books this is the only way to get acceptable bird images . but others thoughts may differ
Interesting thread and thanks for insight to your methods.
I don't have the latest PS with Subject Sselect but I do it the old fashioned way.
Duplicate layer, apply de-noise to top layer and then simply erase the bird from the top layer to reveal the original below.
Erased bird.....
