- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
If your photos from raw are noisier than your photos from jpeg then you are not properly exposing for raw. There is no point in comparing unprocessed raw files to processed jpegs, because in the real world people who shoot raw go ahead and process them. Increasing the signal to noise ratio is the most powerful noise reduction technique I've tried. I own Noiseware Pro, but almost never use it. 75% of my photos are ISO 1600+, and I don't need noise reduction because I'm shooting raw, and properly exposing.
If you do need noise reduction there are several varieties built into every raw processor I've used.
I think you'd be hard pressed to find many pros or serious amateurs who would say they get less noise shooting jpeg than raw. In fact this is the first time I remember anyone arguing about it.
