We have updated to Corona 13 now and the issue persists. When will this be solved?

I am a big fan of the PT + PT approach as well. It's 2025, I don't want to be caching GI for offline rendering any more haha. I do change a few settings like highlight clamping, but pretty much never change from PT.

WOOW the change is indeed huge, do you have the render times for those ?

About 3 minutes for each, it was set to pass limit as stopping condition. I didn't look at noise percentage, but MSI 0 was obviously much noisier before denoiser. One would need to make more in-depth tests before drawing any conclusions, but as Aram said, with the new fireflies filter you can now play with MSI. Just a reminder - you want to increase it to make its effect less destructive. Setting it to 0 is a special case, i.e. MSI is effectively turned off, which is not recommended.

As it is said, Corona is (un)biased renderer, MSI being one of the main biasing factors. You can see crazy-beautiful things happening with caustics when there is no MSI and there are strong reflective surfaces (keep in mind long render times). I remember forgetting to set render limit for a volumetric caustics scene, and with >1000 passes rendered, beautiful caustics appeared, in places I would not think of them appearing.
I agree that with firefly removal MSI can be tweaked with more confidence. Yet again, be sure you know what you are doing when tweaking the defaults.

Not necessarily, you can use aperture for DOF and shutter speed for motion blur and at the same time still use simple exposure to control exposure. Corona is very flexible about that and doesn't force you into single workflow.

When using DOF I assume you need an aperture setting and photographic exposure.

Anyhow, Tone mapping requieres a lot of trial and error.  I would love to see the proper order for tone mapping settings for using LUT's

Hi Abdullah! Originally we make these images in 16:9 format, and with the final delivery we add vertical versions. That vertical versions were made with generative fill in photoshop adding sky and greenery and, maybe, in some cases the proportions of the top and bottom are a little punched. Thank you very much for your comment!!
Here you are one of them with horizontal format.
