[MENTION=125321]nac[/MENTION] thats definitely true that as RAW dont have any in-camera sharpness or NR done...you can have a better control on it...
JPEG have everything done in-camera then you will do again soo it may just get spoiled..even if you dont set anything in the camera it will do something to make the picture beautiful :D

Here is a raw image of a shot I took from a plane, I've seen some amazing plane pics from people on flickr and 500px. But the only way I could get anything was to boost ISO to 6400 which makes this very grainy. People, would you be willing to give this a shot ?

Update: just spent quite some time trying to get anything usable from this image and i guess it might be better to abandon it

wow, gen that's a pretty good edit. Yesterday when I was trying I tried to get the wing to show, however that was giving me a strange purplish tint all over the pic. And any attempts at noise reduction were making it very soft and blotchy as you put it. Will give it another go today

May be I don't mind as much as you guys with regards to noise. I guess I seen more noise with my camera :p

That's a nice click, Amlan. :thumbs: Not every one could get this shot.

In fact, the grains adds some touch when it's black and white. :)

I see Sujoy likes when its life like. Not saturated ones. I have saturated little more (just my taste), to see how they will look when it is saturated. Please comment whether it's too much or not. If it's too much I try and keep it little down.

I tried the RAW one. It's different than my usual editing. Please comment and critique :D I know it's not my photograph. :D

Sujoy, That's a good work you did on that RAW. Not a lot of contrast (may be no contrast at all (no offense), kinda hazy/misty look, slightly over exposed feel and dull.

I told you 150-500 have some contrast issue ....even after my PP it just looked as good as I saw actually ...

this time your editing looks like hot summer afternoon...and all dry ....I wish there could be a tiger in the scene :D will look like africa ;)

I liked nac's first attempt #211. The 2nd reddish one, I don't like it much.

This is my attempt at the RAW file.

Be careful what you wish for.
