Having just looked at the picture style settings ‘portrait’ isn’t a sensible choice and also makes the noise look much, much worse than with Standard or Neutral, not sure why I didn’t pick up on that, what a numpty, but I had been playing with all the setting in DPP to see what effect they were having. And yes I normally use the 400mm f5.6 wide open since it is just as sharp at 5.6 as any other. I had been playing with various settings and the only reason the shutter speed was so high is that I had cracked the ISO up to see what it was capable of and see what the noise levels were like. I have got into the habit of shooting Abobe RGB because that is a requirement of an agency that I submit images too. I’ll admit to knowing almost nothing about the subject either, but I have noticed my images look different in different programs as you say. I will address these problems and change some of the setting, thanks for your advice.</blockquote>
