Hi Jim and Darin,
Thanks for taking my question on the show! It’s a head scratcher for me too. I thought that it might be the program I’m opening my files in, which right now is iPhoto, but I observed the same phenomenon when I viewed the saved files (high quality jpegs or tiffs) on my desktop as well – I don’t judge my pictures from how they appear on Facebook, knowing how poor the quality is. To my knowledge, I’m saving them at the highest possible quality. Here is an example of what I’m seeing: http://throughthefadinglight.tumblr.com/post/102350144823/temporary. The tree on the left is a 100% crop of the image viewed in ViewNX 2; the one on the right is the same, from iPhoto. This issue is by no means the end of the world, but now I’m just curious. Thanks again for your help!
About the quality loss after converting to jpg. How much denoising are you using? Denoising often softens the image.
ViewNX 2 doesn’t have a noise reduction slider, as far as I can tell, and I tend to avoid noise reduction anyway. I’m also not increasing sharpness for most of my pictures, but perhaps I should in hopes that the saved files will more closely resemble what I’m seeing on the software.
Deleted the image from the other page, here’s a link that works http://adollaronthetracks.tumblr.com/image/102575338264
I am having this same issue and cannot find a solid answer or resolution. Have you had any success in fixing this issue?
Not yet, no. I’m hoping to just get Lightroom sometime soon and hopefully it won’t be an issue there.
