Thanks,. I impressed with the shots - picture composition plays a very vital part. What I am trying to find out is if you zoom in lets say 500% it gets noisier. how to reduce that, if I want to blow out to make photo frame of S12R 12" × 18", it would be grainy with noise.. the quality of the image is not well achieved.
Even at my lowest setting for JPEG in my camera the image is already 14" x 9" at 300 dpi. If I drop the dpi to 200, I will already get 21" by 14". Print quality at 200 dpi is still very good FYI. And this is at JPEG(basic).
So, I do not understand why you need to zoom to 500% :dunno:
Noise do not increase when you zoom in. The noise just gets larger.
Are you one of those people that just snap without thought, then try to make it look nice by doing extreme cropping? :dunno:
