Noise

[Ptyler22]

OK, thanks so you think a non photographer person wouldn't notice?
Noise is just one of those things that kills me, when I see noise I just cringe, I haaate noisy pictures, but I guess if its a big picture no one will look close enough to see the noise anyway.
P.S. If you are on a pc how does that picture look saturation and contrast wise? I ask because the mac screens look nothing like pc screens and I don't want the picture coming out grey. I will brighten it up a little also. Thanks

I don't think anyone would notice it unless they were looking for it. It kills me, too, but the level of noise you are dealing with doesn't seem that major. You can also always run NeatImage or NoiseNinja to cut it down a bit, but I think you're ok.

On Sat and cont... car pic looks a bit undersaturated, but contrast looks fine. Second pic looks fine, but needs brightening.

Whether mac or pc monitor... you def. want to calibrate it. It's not really about who makes them so much as how close to 'true' they are.
