Focus check

[Debra Simeon]

Hi Damien - I have really only adjusted the exposure and white balance as I am yet to re-take the raw class.  Also, I used the auto de-noise as that is now offered in PS. Hopefully what I'm sending is ok. Let me know if I need to re-do.  Thanks, Deb

It's not good, is it

[Debra Simeon]

Ok. I’ll try another tomorrow. Thanks 🙏 

[Debra Simeon]

How's this one? (If this one is no good, I'll have a camera play day and get some new photos just for the course I think.  I haven't had a play with the camera for a while and am using some older photos). Thanks D.

[Damien Symonds]

That one is excellent.

[Debra Simeon]

Great, thanks so much.  I was a bit nervous as the bokeh (I think it's called) behind looks "noisy" but the subject was ok.  

[Damien Symonds]

Of course it's too noisy.  You'll need to fix that in your raw processing as usual.

[Debra Simeon]

Ok, will do.  Quick question though - if I have a photo where the subject is well in focus but I have to reduce the noise for the background quite a bit, would that affect the good focus of the subject?

Not enough to make a real-world difference.
