When enlarging you’re your pictures you have to bear in mind not all digital SLRs handle noise in the same way, and some are better at reducing it than others. Depending on your camera you may not see any noise at ISO 800, when enlarging a photo.
thanks--having always been a film man and NOT a tech man, I needed somebody to explain it to me. I asume its the same effect when you try to enlarge a smaller digital image than a large one? More noise from enlarging a smaller image ?
