    Perhaps it's because people can't see your images. At least, I can't (even after ignoring the popups and waiting for the countdown timer).


    I suggest following Daniel's suggestion - open the image in ACR and take a screen shot, then convert it to JPG and take a screen shot of that. Post both here (you can upload them to this site, which offers several MB of image storage).

    Or if you're using Windows you can use the Snipping Tool.
    It can be found in Start menu Start / All Programs / Accessories - Snipping Tool.
    Or you can just Type "Snipping Tool" in the search/command line box at the bottom of the start menu.

    Try using Dropbox.com instead.

    The original CR2 file is also there and using PSE it’s a reasonably sharp image.






    Hi Raid. It worked for me. I was able to view all three files from the site.


    First off, I'm NO expert in evaluating sharpness but what I do notice (as you probably know) is that the RAW has more dynamic range, obviously more detail and more colors represented. I wonder if the drop in quality of these three just results in "a drop in sharpness".


    As an aside, I use LR3 on a PC for my RAW work. When i export an original .cr2 as a jpeg vs say a TIFF I DO notice a significant drop in sharpness and range of colors when I view it on my 22-inch monitor. I think its just a function of the a compressed jpeg file vs a non-compressed file.





    As i said earlier, I'm no expert but there are plenty of experts on this forum that will be able to shed more light on your question.


    Cheers,


    Damian
