Not viewing images at 100%

Whenever you edit images, zoom in and check the image at 100% when carrying out edits that require a certain level of precision, such as sharpening, noise reduction and cloning out sensor spots. In some cases, the changes will only be visible when you’re viewing the image at this level of magnification. It’s also worth doing this after you’ve carried out changes to colour saturation or contrast, in order to check that details are still visible and colour gradation is still smooth.

right Always view an image at full size when applying noise reduction, otherwise you won’t be able to judge its effectiveness
