We\u2019ve all seen, heard, or read statements about how bad and unusable its files are with anything created at ISO 400 or higher.  Is the 7D really that bad?<\/p>\n<p>Many folks have contacted me about the \u201cclean\u201d results I\u2019ve been able to achieve with this much-maligned camera.  In this tutorial I will share my workflow and hopefully demonstrate that the answer to the above question is a resounding &#8220;<strong>No!<\/strong>&#8221;  This tutorial is not meant to be scientific; it does not include tests, charts, graphs, comparisons, or pixel-peeping samples.  There is a market and a demand for that type of information but providing it is not my intent here.  It is not meant to compare the 7D to its much more expensive cousins such as the cameras in the 1D or the 5D series.  It is simply a short tutorial written for hobbyists, especially those on a budget, or for those still on the fence about purchasing a 7D. It will show that the Canon EOS-7D is indeed worth a second look and that it is more than capable of creating terrific, high quality images in real-world situations.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>ngg_shortcode_3_placeholder<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Bohemian Waxwing on snow.

Many folks find that 7D image quality is unacceptable at ISO 800; here I share my workflow which shows how I create quality images with my 7D\/100-400 set up.  <\/p>\n<p>The in-camera part of my workflow is short and sweet; it assumes that the user is proficient at exposing images properly. Here are two important points: The first is the importance of micro-adjusting each of your lenses.  The 7D is capable of producing images with incredible detail, but it will not do that if your rig is front- or back-focusing with a given lens. (Note: the best way of micro-adjusting each of your lenses to your camera boy is with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birdsasart-blog.com\/baa\/2011\/01\/11\/the-lens-align-mk-ii-the-lens-align-tutorial-micro-adjusting-magic\/\">Lens Align Mark II<\/a>.) The second is that you must learn to \u201cexpose to the right\u201d(ETTR); this means simply that you need to expose your images so that the histogram shows data well into the right-most box (the fifth box).  If an image has bright whites in it it is fine to have a very few blinkies on the whites as blinkies are just over-exposure warnings. This will yield the best results after post-processing especially with images that have blacks or dark tones.  At the very least do not underexpose your images.  This is basically true for every DSLR anyhow, but the 7D can struggle a bit more with noise in deep shadows when you need to add back light in post processing.  Other than those there is nothing out of the ordinary to do in-camera.<\/p>\n<p>My post-processing workflow is more detailed, but it is rather simple and easy to emulate.  (Warning:  I never use layers and rarely use masks thus they are not mentioned; you may of course use them if they are part of your normal workflow).<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>ngg_shortcode_4_placeholder<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Cattle Egret in flight.

I start off with all the LR3 settings intact and from the menu options at right in the \u201cDevelop Module\u201d I start from the top and work my way down.  The first two sliders, White Balance and Tint, are most often left untouched.  I work almost exclusively in Auto White Balance. <\/p>\n<p>The next group of sliders is the most important.  First I \u201ccorrect\u201d the exposure, which, if I have used the ETTR method correctly, means that I need to lower the value here.  It can be as small as 0.10 stop, or as much as a full stop or more.  The Recovery and Fill Light sliders are great if there is still a bit of clipping at either end of the histogram.   Recovery can be used fairly aggressively and still look natural.  Not so with Fill-Light, but it can be combined with a reduction in the Blacks (which is defaulted at +5) to produce a less problematic result.  I may boost Contrast from +25, the default, to as much as +50 or so for photos made with mostly midtones or those created in very flat light.  The next two sliders, Clarity and Vibrance, are usually boosted anywhere from +8 to +12.  Although noise reduction (NR) is good in LR3  I do not find localized adjustments as user-friendly as in Photoshop (PS) where I do my NR.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>ngg_shortcode_5_placeholder<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Limpkin just before sunset.

Next I convert the file to a 16 bit tiff and open it in Photoshop.  Note: I am currently using CS2.  Even though I do a good job in LR3 in prepping the files, I feel that PS can take things up another notch.  The first thing that I do is double check the exposure in Levels.  Sometimes a small tweak is needed, most times not.  Next I make whatever localized adjustments are needed with the Dodge and Burn tool. I use the Dodge Tool to open up areas with harsh shadows especially under a bird\u2019s belly, chin, or undertail coverts, or to lighten too dark areas in the background or the foreground. Conversely I use the Burn Tool to tame overly light areas in the frame.  I touch up the eye on 90% of my bird images by lightening the iris and\/or darkening the pupil.  My default settings for both of these tools are a soft brush (0% hardness) with the range set to midtones and the exposure at 8%.  The same goes for the Sponge Tool which is my favorite \u201ccolor enhancer\u201d or \u201creducer.\u201d  I use it to enhance the iris color which may have become a bit washed-out after I\u2019ve lightened it.  I may also use it to enhance colors such as the yellow lores of a Savannah Sparrow or the green sheen on the head of a drake Mallard.  These are the tools that I use the most in PS; many of the compliments that I get about my post processing skills are a result of the use of these tools. <\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>ngg_shortcode_6_placeholder<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Grasshopper Sparrow singing.

I save a final version of the file, a finished version without NR or sharpening applied.  This is my \u201cmaster file.\u201d  I go back to it in order to prep images for web or for print.  Then I open the file and apply the finishing touches (NR and sharpening via Unsharp Mask&#8211;USM) but only after after the image is sized for use.  This, in my opinion, is an area of high confusion as many folks over-complicate things.  Here is the simple way that I do things. With most files I apply NR to the whole image using the Noise Ninja plug-in for PS; any such software will do a nice job. Then I use the History Brush at 100% opacity and \u201cpaint\u201d away the NR on the subject, the perch, and any other areas of high detail that are in focus or are covered by the depth-of-field.  I do not use NR on any image created at ISO 400 or below unless I messed up the exposure and need to recover (lighten) it aggressively in post<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>ngg_shortcode_7_placeholder<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Osprey in flight.

With images that have had no NR applied, I only sharpen the subject, the perch, and whatever else is in focus. <\/p>\n<p>For every image file I set the Radius to 1.3 and the Threshold to 0; the Amount varies between 120 and  170.  That\u2019s it!  Really!  Keep in mind that the results look bad if the image is viewed at anything larger than the intended size and they will look downright awful if viewed at 100% or more.  This is normal.  The results, however, are awesome when the images are viewed at the intended size for display or print.<\/p>\n<p>I hope that after trying my recommendations you conclude that the 7D really is a great camera that offers amazing image quality with noise characteristics that are easily handled with one round of NR applied to the images created at the higher ISOs.  It is no different than any of the other crop-factor cameras out there.  Opinions will surely vary, but for me, this is the perfect camera for a hobbyist on a budget and even for the pro who needs a great crop-factor camera with lots of pixels.  If you have been sitting on the fence about the purchase of a 7D I recommend that you go right ahead and try one, you might be quite surprised at the results. Ignore the mixed reviews as I did. And I haven\u2019t looked back since!<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>ngg_shortcode_8_placeholder<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Snow Bunting female on snow.
