We finally got some rain and we're praying for some more. I have a few hummingbirds that like to hang out under one of our bedroom windows so I thought, maybe they would let me take some pictures of them while they enjoyed their shower. I opened the window and this fellow was very obliging he landed about 8 feet below the window. This photo is straight out of camera. There are no adjustments of any kind except to resize the photo so I could upload it to this site. And it looks much, much sharper on my computer. Downsizing really decreases the quality.

This is the same photo with a few adjustments. I can't believe how good it looks on my screen and how bad it looks in comparison to what I see here.

I tried it again with Steve Perry's Actions 1200 H. I don't think it made much difference, maybe I did it wrong? The image while it is in light room and the image I download from my camera is crystal clear and totally awesome. This one not so much.

Yes I would I often have the same issue.

Robin I do think the last one shows slightly more detail. When you say it looks better on your screen is it better after you export it or while in the program? If in the program you may be working in a larger color space, a larger color space allows more colors then when it is exported there are sometimes changes to the image to again be sure it fits in the sRGB color space. How you denoise and sharpen will also make a difference.
Maybe someone using Adobe product will give you a few pointers or point you to a couple of videos.

The original photo straight out of camera before I even load it into lightroom is probably one of the sharpest photos I have ever taken. When I process my photos I off load my camera to my computer then cull the photos using Fastone. Then I upload to lightroom and make adjustments, then if needed I take them to Denoise AI, then normally I would export them with no problem. Now I am trying Steve Perry's Action to resize the ones I like a lot, but this photo looks nothing like what I am seeing on my screen. I can see every detail on this bird. None of the feathers look like they are melted together or blurry in the least. In answer to your question, after I export it, it looks the same on my computer as the one I uploaded to our site. Maybe I will review our size settings for this site. Maybe some how I have accidentally changed the export size and am using the incorrect size.
