[QUOTE="BeegRhob, post: 765744, member: 48712"] Are you shooting in jpeg, or RAW? Especially if the quality is lower, the detail gets lost. If you shoot in jpeg and then process and then save it, you lose detail. If you take that file and process it and then save it, you will lose more data. Take a fresh jpeg and make a copy (no data loss) and try it. Open and hit sharpen and save. See the file size difference? Now take that file and adjust the contrast. Now see the file size? When you adjust RAW and save, it doesn't change the file size, except when you save to jpeg. I used to shoot jpeg when I started out, and post process quite a bit. Something else I did, was shoot on "AUTO", or one of the scene modes. Now I use "A", aperture priority mostly, and venturing into "manual" (YIKES! SCARY for me! lol). That could possibly make a difference. I started my journey into DSLRs with a D3000, which I still have but haven't used in quite a while, so I get where you are coming from at least a little.

The only thing wrong with it is that it doesn't help me to get off my hind end to get out and take pics! ;) Rob [/QUOTE]
