Recently while working on a photo of a two story brick house that filled the frame I noticed a terrible Moir'e maze effect in the brick when viewing full screen in the editor. I had the photo saved as a .psd, .tif, & .jpg so started comparing them all. The psd & tif was created from an original jpg from my camera & are both equal in size & dpi. The jpg was downsized in size & dpi using the tif file. Both the psd & tif showed this pattern when viewing in editor at full screen but the jpg did not. I then went back to the organizer & viewed the psd & tif files side by side using F12, & both photos showed the pattern. When I compared the jpg the same way it did not show the pattern. Then I viewed all three usin F11 to view full screen & none of them showed the pattern. Thought this might be a problem with just PSE 5 so I went to PSE 4 & did the same comparrison with the same results. I did some enhancement on these photos & don't remember seeing any Moir'e during this process. I used two other viewers & never saw this problem & the one program looked at the tif stepping thru different percentages & didnt see the pattern. Not sure this is a real problem or not, I started using PSE 4 as soon as it came out whenever that was & just upgraded to 5. I print out a lot of my photos with an epson stylus photo 870 with great results. I might have seen this prior in house photos with the rooves showing the pattern but never paid too much attention to it. I would think the photos should appear the same in all three different viewing panes. Any thoughts or ideas on this would be appreciated. Don
