5D2 In Camera Sharpeness & RAW Shooting

[Murray Fredericks]

First the pattern, in 300% view, then the raw channels separated. One green channel and the red show a vertical pattern, which is quite unique (perhaps this sensor is valuable as a collector's item?). Obviously this green channel is the one, which is in the same columns as the red.

Gabor,

were these tests from the Raw file I sent or the cropped jpeg?

Cheers

Murray


PS Nick, masking the sharpening was exactly how I got around the problem but it's a lot of extra work!

Murray,

1. the crop with the maze is from the raw file converted by ACR,

2. the others are from the unadultered raw data, as the title says, Rawnalyze; those are the non-demosaiced raw channels (that's the reason there are two green channels).

Can you provide a reference for that?

One reference to this is Chuck Westfall's post that can be found at this link: Sharpening in 10D files also see his confirmation in post number 13 of the same thread.

In a much more recent post he states that no sharpening is used in .CR2 files as opposed to sharpening in some .CRW files: No sharpening in .CR2 files

Something is wrong with that page. Anyway, I have already seen total nonsense written by Chuck Westfall; I put this one in the same basket.
