You can be as snippish and haughty as you want, Derby, but your comment about "Bayer demosaicing" didn't make any sense and had nothing to do with the issue. It was nonsense speak: I had no idea what you were talking about.

You've articulated what you intended to say much more clearly since I responded. I'm sure Dave will appreciate the clearer explanation of why the red channel might seem less sharp.

I know you understand what I mean. Dave asked why his red channel looked soft. I meant that looking at just one channel after demosaicing was not looking at the full resolution of the sensor

I humbly apologise to your Holiness I was not clear.

Then I don't understand your sentence below. Dave is looking at individual channels in RGB which, as you say, will be softer than the full three channel composite.

At this point in the process, Bayer demosaicing and gamma interpolation happened long ago ...

So what does "The Bayer demosaicing will then be trying to interpolate from what information it has" have to do with the fact stated above?

Yes, that's my point. If you are looking at a predominantly green image, the detail is in the green. Looking at the red channel means you are looking at rather less resolution than the full RGB image

When you're looking at an RGB channel file in Photoshop, the Bayer demosaicing is long past.

Don't forget, Dave, individual channels will be "softer" than the full RGB image, especially if you are looking in one channel and the most of the colours are in the other two. The Bayer demosaicing will then be trying to interpolate from what information it has.

Good, its not my eyes.:-)

I tried adjusting sharpness on that channel but did not see any
change. I;'m sure i;m doing something wrong, or, the photos from the
D200 ARE really soft.
