Show AI denoise in the manual on sharp, noisy frames

The ISO 8000 Brooklyn Bridge frame was soft at 1:1 before any denoising,
so it could not show that Best keeps detail. The section now shows five
sharp frames from ISO 4000 to 16000, each at 1:1 where hard edges meet
flat areas, Bilinear beside Best: a subway poster, a cathedral portal, a
circus clock, a clinic sign and graffiti. Fast is described, not shown.

at_develop opens a DNG when the name carries its extension. The scene
now fails when Best never lands instead of capturing the undenoised
frame twice.
