[QUOTE="NIKONIAN_DREAMWEAVER, post: 432594, member: 36003"] The Ferrari pic has a lot of noise/grain in it. What crop-percentage did you use in Capture NX2? It looks like that is a good example of 'over cropping'. With NX2, if you keep the crop below 50%, 30-40 is best, then you normally won't see any artifacts, like grain. This picture might have had grain/noise in it from the beginning. I noticed the ISO is quite high. If you reduce the noise in NX2 first, but don't do a 'save' (because it's jpeg), and then try cropping, you might get a better result. Only save once, after all edits have been made. Also, if you shoot RAW/NEF, you'll have quite a few more options for post-editing your pic's, and no degradation from saving a jpeg. Each time you save a jpeg it degrades the image quality a little bit. [/QUOTE]
