Looks like it's trying to get rid of a shot gun bb.

Hi Paul,
I use NX Studio to process .nef files, then export TIFF, 8 bit, and process in PSE - which does not support 16 bit TIFFs. From PSE I invoke Topaz plug-ins. I know, from your past posts, that is not an ideal pipeline. I will invest in the LR+PS subscription when I take more photos, after I retire from my full-time job. 🙂

FWIW, the above pipeline works "well enough" for me. As I indicated above, the halo was introduced by Topaz GigaPixel AI, which I rarely use. And when I changed the image size of the exported TIFF from NX Studio after my crop in NX Studio, the small TIFF file size problem went away. I am not sure how big a problem regarding IQ can be caused by small TIFF files (?).

If you're going to shoot in RAW, the day to move to an all 16-bit software workflow has probably arrived. Or, all RAW with no software transitions. The file sizes, in bytes, have ZERO to do with the processing issue. Rather, the downsize to 8-bit is the primary issue. An 8-bit TIFF is nothing more than an uncompressed JPEG. Once you change to 8-bit, you might as well has just captured in JPEG from the camera.

That is the exact sequence of events, per the file numbers and time stamps in the EXIFs. I am not sure what happened and why the bird could not grab onto the food (or even what food it is)!

Comments and critiques welcome.


Doesn't look too happy about it either

Yes, Joe. Nature is tough.
