File:Saint Sebastian outside the walls - Interno
  • You're the one who took the picture, so you should explain. Did you take the picture in JPEG? RAW? If in camera JPEG, most in camera processing applies some degree of NR by default, even at ISO 100, but I can't check your settings for you. If RAW which setting did you use for demosaicing? - Benh (talk) 12:54, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you use raw, whether or not NR is off is not a concern. Demosaicing is (in short) how to translate "raw" data from ur sensor to an image. Demosaicing itself doesn't exactly apply NR, but if you use LR for instance, there's a possibility to apply NR on the process. I don't take NR but the fact details are gone for granted. NR or blurring gives some signature, which I find on all your pictures, and which explains I repeat my reviews since you don't care to listen or give an explanation. - Benh (talk) 19:00, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Quite a long way below FP level. Quite considerable barrel distortion at the edge of the frame, which should be corrected by decent raw software like Lightroom. (Daniel, I don't think it is just the bottom of the buttresses, as it affects the paintings too and is a known problem with this lens at 18mm). The EXIF says you use Paint.Net. That's a tool for creating screenshots and drawing icons, not a proper photo tool. Do yourself a favour and buy Lightroom 6 when it comes out later this month, or subscribe the the Lightroom+Photoshop program for about £8 a month. I think one problem with sharpness is you used f/14. If this is the 18-105 lens then see this review for why f/14 will be soft overall compared to f/8 or faster. I don't understand your "I don't use NR on iso 100". All digital photos have noise reduction applied, it is simply a question of how much and how intelligently. -- Colin (talk) 13:29, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • But if you use PS CC, you can (and should) easily correct distortion in Camera Raw, by ticking one box. Or am I misunderstanding something? --DXR (talk) 18:29, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I cannot believe you use Photoshop CC, one of the best image manipulation tools, and then run it through Paint.net, one of the worst, in order to crop it. Photoshop has a great crop tool. And if you save a JPG in one program and run it through another you will lose quality (not to mention that Paint.net loses most of the EXIF data). LivioAndronico, do you shoot raw or JPG? If raw then the NR setting on your camera is ignored. If JPG, then the "NR" setting you claim to have turned off is doing no such thing. Perhaps you've turned off "Long exposure NR" or some other variant. It is simply impossible to turn NR off completely. The image would be noisy and full of coloured splodges without it. -- Colin (talk) 20:01, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • As I said, if you shoot raw then the NR setting on your camera has no effect. It only affects the amount of NR applied to the in-camera JPG (which you are not producing) and as the review notes, it still does apply some NR (just not as much). If you use Nikon raw converter then possibly the NR setting may give a hint to the raw converter as to what default amount of NR to apply when developing the raw file. But if you use Adobe Camera Raw with Photoshop CC (and you should as is is excellent) then this will be ignored. -- Colin (talk) 21:35, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No on this I must admit that you are right, for convert in Jpeg I use the converter of nikon --LivioAndronico talk 22:00, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I would be interested to see how much you can improve it if you use Camera Raw. I'm puzzled why you use Photoshop or Paint.net for this image since Camera Raw should do all you need (including cropping). If you want a good book on Camera Raw, then buy The Digital Negative by Jeff Schewe. It won't fix the sharpness issues here (due to f/14) but should greatly improve your images vs what Nikon's converter can do. -- Colin (talk) 22:05, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The answer is simple, in the office I have not phoshop . Anyway, thank you, I'll read it.Withdrawal this photo, so is the church where I got married and for your happiness I can try again. Thank You.--LivioAndronico talk 22:15, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
