Quote "I think your simply misunderstanding the basic principles of how a digital camera works. " Yes very likely.

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 . |
I don't know what you think I did with that picture. All I did was to crop it, sharpen it and reduce the noise. Nothing else whatsoever. It's what I do with every single shot I take.
"To that degree" What does that mean? What degree is acceptable? If you over sharpen it becomes obvious, you start getting halo effects around the image. Can you see any on that one?
I made the point it was a large crop; in fact larger than I would normally do. The whole point of it was to simply show the level of detail retained at that level of crop.
Let me just remind you it was you that came out with comments such as:

Although it is very clever,I think I will take all the dissapointment,in the knowledge of knowing,that when I do get it right,it will not be via over enhancement.

If you make statements like that, which are factually incorrect, then don't be surprised if I state my case vigorously.
