Question I'm a fairly competent photographer, but I've noticed in some photos of mine that there appears to be noise or color dithering of some sort. I don't know if it's my camera, the colorspace I'm using, or how it's processed.
For reference, I'm using a Nikon D80 with the AdobeRGB colorspace. Most of my photos are edited from RAW with Adobe Camera RAW.
I'm sorry but since I can't see any of your images, I can't be for sure what the problem is. Especially since noise is inherently a product of digital images. You say . . . "or how it's processed". Are the problems you describe present when NOT processed?
I use Canon 5D cameras and shoot RAW. I output my JPEGs in the sRGB working colorspace, 300 pixels per inch, saved as level "10" baseline standard with a valid ICC profile embedded. For the sake of AllExperts readers, I save as level "10" baseline standard because these are around half the file size as JPEGs saved at "12" and the image quality is the same.
