No noise reduction or sharpening ? Really ? How do you explain that I can find in the image metadata things like :

Xmp.crs.ColorNoiseReduction XmpText 2 25
Xmp.crs.ColorNoiseReductionDetail XmpText 2 50
Xmp.crs.ColorNoiseReductionSmoothness XmpText 2 50

Xmp.crs.Sharpness XmpText 2 25
Xmp.crs.SharpenRadius XmpText 4 +1.0
Xmp.crs.SharpenDetail XmpText 2 25
Xmp.crs.SharpenEdgeMasking XmpText 1 0

Beeing a fanboy is OK, but you are pushing very far here. How can we trust you for the remaining while the only thing we can verify is wrong ?

What's your agenda ? (don't answer, I press "Ignore user" anyway because I'm fed up with dihonesty).

Oh dear. I have no explanation. I don't remember applying either noise reduction or sharpening. I opened the file and worked with it in Photoshop via ACR; maybe in the process something was applied automatically? I truly don't know.

I don't want to mislead people. I'm sorry if that happened.  If anyone would find it helpful, I'd be happy to post the shot straight out of the camera.

In any case, I will learn how to read image metadata before I describe my edits in the future. In this instance, I am apparently guilty of ignorance and possibly sloppiness, but not of the intention to mislead.
