It's hard to get a good quality image with ISO 3200 capture. This photo is underexposed and very flat, trying to render it will always show noise. I don't like using noise reduction software, it always makes the photo look artificial to my eye. I reduce noise by making sure there's enough exposure at capture time, and by careful processing. I did some rendering on this one. I'll forward my alterations to you ... Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
