While Proteus is the only model that allows a better degree of control it still flattens detail noticeably in skin tones giving that flat plastic look even with dehalo and reduce noise at zero and crushes details. Gaia then is the only option which doesn’t seem to do this but you can’t do any small adjustments. Either gives users a degree of control on this softening/blur/smoothing that is happening in Proteus or I’d like to see some of the detail recovery/sharpening options for Gaia models but not just edges. Maybe exclude skin tones from whatever is happening in the background in Proteus as another option.
