Jeff, interesting shot. What JPEG setting is your camera set on?

 

[Barking]

Large Fine..I always used to shoot in Raw, but since giving up LR I don't have the need.

Jeff, try using large super fine (LSF). At 2.7:1 compression instead of 4:1 with LF, you have more editing latitude. LSF will also reduce noise in skies.

I shoot RAW + LSF always. I only use the RAWs for printing, or (rarely) heroic editing.

HTH.

Thanks John... will give it a try

Good oh, Jeff.

You should also notice better, more subtle colour gradations as well.

It was what convinced me to finally switch from film to digital. At that point, I barely knew what a RAW file was, but I did know that more bits = more data, and that more data = better representation of object.

A LSF jpeg gives you about 50% more data than a LF JPEG.
