We’ve seen how SNR curves can help us analyze digital camera IQ:
In this post we will use them to help us compare digital cameras, independently of format size. Continue reading Comparing Sensor SNR

Deconvolution PSF Changes with Aperture
We have seen in the previous post how the radius for deconvolution capture sharpening by a Gaussian PSF can be estimated for a given setup in well behaved and characterized camera systems. Some parameters like pixel aperture and AA strength should remain stable for a camera/prime lens combination as f-numbers are increased (aperture is decreased) from about f/5.6 on up – the f/stops dear to Full Frame landscape photographers. But how should the radius for generic Gaussian deconvolution change as the f-number increases from there? Continue reading Deconvolution PSF Changes with Aperture
Deconvolution vs USM Capture Sharpening
UnSharp Masking (USM) capture sharpening is somewhat equivalent to taking a black/white marker and drawing along every transition in the picture to make it stand out more – automatically. Line thickness and darkness is chosen arbitrarily to achieve the desired effect, much like painters do. Continue reading Deconvolution vs USM Capture Sharpening
