Please remove previous post.

Please let me know if I can print this as canvas 16x20. Thank you

That 100% crop is WAY too large of a portion of the whole photo.  What are the pixel dimensions of the whole photo?

[miriam]

the raw file is 4928x3264. I did the crop in PS with crop tool 700x700

[Damien Symonds]

No, not the Crop Tool.  Read the instructions again, please.

[miriam]

here is 700x700. thank you

[Damien Symonds]

Gosh, that's dreadful.  Something's gone badly wrong here.  May I see a screenshot of your Detail panel in raw?

[miriam]

I normally don't do 100% noise removal but you wrote you wanted 100% so thats why its like that on details panel

 

[Damien Symonds]

Oh yeah, gosh, can't you see how much damage the Sharpening is doing??  That slider MUST be at 0.  Do that, then show me the 100% crop again.

[miriam]

So i should keep the noise reduction the same? and just remove sharpening completely?

[Damien Symonds]

Well, I'm not sure, exactly. I suspect your noise "Detail" and "Contrast" sliders (which you have both presently set at 84) are too high as well.  But until I see it without the awful sharpening, I can't really tell.

[miriam]

i removed all sharpening and noise removal except the color one as in the screenshot attached.

please let me know if there is a way to save this image. thank you.

[Damien Symonds]

Um, no, we need all the noise removal we can get.  Put that Luminance slider back up.  WAY up.

[miriam]

and detail and contrast keep at zero under it?

[Damien Symonds]

For now, yes.

[miriam]

let me know what you think but its noise at 100% removall

[Damien Symonds]

Alas, this is unusable, sorry.  Even for canvas, which is forgiving, this would look awful.

[miriam]

Is it ok to give you a dropbox link to it and see if you can do anything with it?

[Damien Symonds]

Sorry, what part of "this us unusable" isn't clear?
