IN many of my higher high ISO images there is significant noise reduction applied to large parts of the image.
And sometimes I don't apply any at all.
It depends on how bad the noise is, however, just because it's a high ISO image, you can't tell by looking at the images how much work I've done on it. There seems to be large variations in IQ coming from the camera based on factors I haven't taken the time to isolate.
Both these images are shot at 800 ISO, one needed extensive noise reduction, one didn't.
Quote: I'm little confused. Yes, I'm also begginer according to K-3, but how turning off NR can help with avoiding noise?
BTW, great shots!
No one has yet to demonstrate that turning off NR makes any difference at all on RAW files... it's just one of those ideas that's out there. I haven't tested it yet, and i don't think anyone else has either.
The turning off the NR thing could be a mis-interpretation of some crazy reaction I got in another thread when I compared K-3 to K-5 images. When people don't like what you post, they say all kinds of crazy s&*t.
