I like that shot Tarowah. The one thing I cant figure out is why most of your images are noisy even at base ISO. I never used the Nikon Capture NX, but from what I see Adobe Camera Raw is superior at importing RAWs.

I dont see in the .raw files. I think it gets added when I resize the images with Photoscape.

There is no noise with reduction in photoscape. The noise is coming from somewhere else.
Sorry i didnt see what camera and what iso?

Also photoscape by default uses 72dpi for saving images. So you have to increase that using "save as".

You are over sharpening them though.

I think zomg is mistaking natural compression loss or something else for noise.

Raw doesnt help with noise. Even though photoshop CS 5 does have better noise handling for raw files.

CaptureNX is far, far, far superior at processing RAW. CaptureNX is able to process Nikon RAW images in a native format where ACR tries it's best to translate unreadable data into something it can read. If you're a stickler for getting the most out of your gear then always import RAW files into a native processing engine and export TIFFs to Photoshop if that's what you prefer.

Wow. I just loaded up ViewNX2, and it absolutely destroys what CS5 ACR does...

The original image was garbage, I wanted to see how it was handled.
The CS5 image has lens correction applied, and the NX image does not, yet has minimal distortion and less was cropped.
