Please help me with this mystery!

My first guess is that it's an issue with the raw conversion. Can you post the raw file? Yousendit.com is a free way to host the raw file.

I do not have the RAW file with me right now, I will check after I go home and post the RAW file. Thanks!

What are you using to process your RAW images?

Good question, I had a similar problem when trying to process 50D raw files in photoshop CS 3, once I got CS4---problem resolved. Adobe wouldn't update ACR for CS3---so...I had to buy CS4----Something worth trying anyway----other than that, I have no clue

Daniel, mystery solved! The original RAW image did not have any dots! I normally use CS3 to convert RAW files but this time I used Canon's little DPP software because I liked the colorof these pictures that the camera software produced. Thank you so much all for helping me out! Here is the full image converted from CS3.

Daniel, my curiosity is up....


What produces those dots when a different converter is used?

And why did it happen with only one lens? [*-)]

I don't know. Perhaps certain noise reduction settings combined with certain sharpening or other post processing sliders.

The answer is obvious...

Get the latest DPP version. generally, it does a better job than any other raw converter, so something is wrong.
