cbjetboy Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 What's up with the Photoshop Camera Raw? I open my 20D and 30D RAW images with Canon's DPP with good results and process them in DxO Optics with good results. I open the same file in Photoshop using the Camera RAW plug-in and the image looks noisy. It is like it introduces noise. The colors look OK but when I zoom in even a little bit I notice "noise" color specs. Is Camera RAW not as good as the others? It would seem that CS2 with Camera RAW would be cleaner than the others. Any ideas? It seems to happen regardless of settings (shutter speed, ISO, aperture, etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phule Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Have you tried disabling or turning off the features that are turned on automatically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbjetboy Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 I tried all of the adjustments. I tried changing the color space options. The images can be ISO 100 and look like I shot ISO 1600. It's wierd if you ask me. Normally I use DxO Optics but wanted the better lighting control of Photoshop. It all ends up there anyways. I noticed the noise on some side by side comparisons. I'm sorry I don't have any to attach as I am at work. I have been converting them in DxO and post processing the jpegs in CS2 to avoid the noise.

patricklavoie Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 do you add sharpness in ACR? sound like it. Turn it off in the second TAB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenPapai Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Using RAW without reading several chapters of a good Raw processing book is not something you should be doing. Search the forum for good advice on what to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbjetboy Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 The sharpness tab was what I was missing. I have used DxO until I got CS2. I had CS but it would not open the 30D files. I understand the process...just missed that setting. Thanks for your help. I'm back in business! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
