The wavelet-based detrending and denoising method \texttt{TFAW} is applied for the first time to \texttt{EVEREST 2.0}-corrected light curves to further improve the photometric precision of almost all K2 observing campaigns (C1-C8, C12-C18). The performance of both methods is evaluated in terms of 6 hr combined differential photometric precision (CDPP), simulated transit detection efficiency, and planet characterization in different SNR regimes. On average, \texttt{TFAW} median 6hr CDPP is \$\sim…
