I was at the annual Arab American Festival in Anaheim/Garden Grove Area earlier today having fun. Go if you can, food tastes good ;) I took my DSLR to spend time with my family and have fun and I snapped a LOT of photos.

But one thing I can't believe I didn't do was change my ISO back to 200! Ion iso 1600 the entire time in broad daylight. I only noticed it when I came home and imported my raws and thought "wow this first picture sucks...guess I should get rid of it"...and I got to the next...and then I find out ALL of them are like this!

IS there a way to fix this at all? I know there are some programs to remove noise - but they work primarily on JPGs unless I'm mistaken. I shot in rawr, so would that extra information be helpful in trying to clear up this image? I know I can't ever resolve detail that was never captured...but this just sucks :

Thanks...

You shoot in RAWR? lol.

Noise Ninja or Neat Image. Convert your RAWs to TIFF or JPEG and then do noise reduction on these files. The RAW converter itself should also have some built-in noise reduction features.

Does anyone know if some 4x6 prints (at the largest) can still be made out of these? Here is an example of one of the really bad versions ~ http://pics.bbzzdd.com/users/magomago/IMGP1535.jpg
Could decent 3x5 and 4x6 still be pulled out of that ? Does anyone have decent experience in printing such that they know it should look fine?

You didn't notice when you were shooting 1/5000 shutter speeds in the shadows? ;)

Actually, on screen your sample looked AOK. It should print just fine as a 3 x 5.

One thing for sure - at that shutter speed you don't need IS. :)
