Am I correct in assuming that a large percentage of photos that I see on this site have had some post processing applied?
It is a VERY rare photo that hasn't had something done to it. It does not matter if it is a jpg or raw photo either.
Some strive for that perfect jpg shot straight out of the camera. However, I don't care how good those photos are 99% of them could have benefited with some PP. Some of the worlds greatest photographers will be the first to admit that if it wasn't for PP they would be in trouble.

Marion, I hate to say it, but 50% is probably low! :lol:
But DO keep in mind that when viewing at 100%, you are viewing at one pixel on the digi file to one pixel on you monitor, so there is no distortion, that's why we usually use 100%. At 200%, your monitor has to start interpolating, thus inherently introducing at least some distortion to what you are viewing.
Just saying. ;-)

Exactly right. Keep it at 100%. Nice call, Sharpie! :D :thumbup:

Thank you for the information. I wondered how to tell how much PP you should apply. This will be helpful.

Welcome to the Hog, mcmm.
Keep in mind that it's easy to over sharpen in PP. My photo teacher said he was a judge for a photo contest, and said "more than 50% were over sharpened!" He said you have to increase the size to 200%, or more, to get a better look at what you're doing.

Using PSE I do not go beyond 100 for sharpening.
