Canon G9 ISO 800 Lightroom noise & sharpening settings

When I chose the Canon G9 one of my reasons was that I hoped that lots of people would be buying one and sharing their experience on the web of how to get the best out of it. I am happy to have found some examples of that happening.


On the Luminous Landscape forum there has been quite a lot of discussion about image noise and sharpening settings in the Develop module of Lightroom, with some from Thomas Niemann (of PTLens fame) for the G9 at ISO 800 being reported and discussed.

I have tried out the settings recommended in Lightroom 1.3 (shown in the screen shot above and the table below) and they work pretty well as a starting point for me, so I have saved them as a preset to repeat at will, although I have added in a Vibrance setting of 17% for this image.

There are a few of other blogs with G9 specific information that I have found which look useful:
