Hello,
I am hoping the list will be able to help me with a problem that I have
encountered on and off - too often to be just a nuisance - in shooting with my
Canon D30.
I am taking pictures using the setting for the largest file size jpg on ISO 100,
and I am constantly getting results with varying amounts of wavy moire
effects, digital artifacting, not sure what the technical terms are to describe it.
The photograph at the following link looked just terrible in the Canon
Zoombrowser, which disappointed me enormously, as it was a lovely shot.
My wife put it into Photoshop, where it looked almost normal. She tweaked
it a bit, and it printed beautifully on an Epson 900 inkjet. When she took that
same picture (before tweaking, and after) and saved to web size, both in PS
and in zoombrowser's facility, the effect was terrible - just as bad as it had
looked in the zoombrowser originally. This child, whose skin is actually like
a peach, looks as if she has third degree burn scars all over her.

This is not the first time this has happened although it doesn't occur in every
shot. In this picture, and others of the same shoot, the effect seems to
occur mostly on the skin in the shadow. The dress is not affected, though
the sky is always. Even saved at the highest jpg resolution the effect is the
same, though I reduced this out of consideration for your patience. Bear in
mind that this effect is just as bad straight out of the camera!
The photograph printed well, though we have had the effect on prints as well.
I need to be able to produce files for print and web use, so need to get to the
bottom of this problem. It makes no difference what lens I use.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. There must be a way to avoid this
happening. Or is there something wrong with my camera?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Steve
