You seem to be offended Graham,I never said I didn`t like your photos now did I ? And be fair you have not just sharpened that image have you ? Did you not post your photos to get comments on them ? I have allready admited that I lack a lot of knowledge regarding digital.It`s all still fairly new to me.All the images posted here look good to me,from your birds to GerryNick2 `s pooch.I just don`t think I would be happy cropping into an image that far,sharpening and reducing the noise levels on it to that degree.I allready appolagised to you.Perhaps you would prefer I didn`t pass comment in the future ? Quote "I think your simply misunderstanding the basic principles of how a digital camera works. " Yes very likely. Quote "Why is it OK for the camera to do it but the moment we do it in software we've done something wrong". I think you took it a lot further than the camera alone could have,but then as you say,I don`t really have a clue what I am on about.

I never expected that the RAW image would be so fiddly to work with,I choose to use it so far because of it`s superior quality over J-pegs.Though It seems you need certain skills { I wont call you clever again Graham } and / or software to get the best from it.Sorry I offended,I`ll keep future comments to myself,and the Misses .
