Here is a detail of an image shot with a Canon 5D..........
http://homepage.eircom.net/~theplayer/2_MG_1536.jpgIf you save the image to your desktop and open it in Photoshop at 33%, the moire is clearly visible either side of the bolt of lightening.
However, if you Ctrl/+ and increase the image size to 50%, the moire disappears.
What I want to know is, does the same apply in printing? Would the moire be visible (or not) at different print sizes?
Viewing the full-size image produces the same problem. Moire at 33%, none at 50%, a little at 66% and none at 100%.
Is this a monitor thing only, or is it also a print problem?
This print, and 500 others, will be viewable on an online database. What is the best way of avoiding this problem online, since that is the way that most people will see them? How, for eample, can I apply the 50% (no moire) size to say a thumbnail image (there will be many images per page on the database)?
Many thanks.

ps......No, amazing as it may seem, I don't own a printer! ;-)
