Some combannedbannedbannedbannedbannedons between RAW (converted with RSE) and ex-camera jpegs
from a D70.
No sharpening applied with RSE, jpgs shot in fine (best) setting. Same
lens, same time (give or take 5 seconds), no camera shake or focus
difference. Repeated several times, same result each time.
With jpeg basic and normal, resolution loss is far more pronounced.
Crops are 1:1.
Yes, you can see this difference in a (large) print.
With a sufficiently sharp lens, aliasing "jaggies" are usually visible
at the pixel level when shooting raw. I print with an Epson R1800,
which can resolve detail to (over) 600dpi. Whether it is the result of
ink droplets "blending" - or more probably anti-aliasing applied by the
printer drivers when they resample the image, I never see jaggies in
prints at all.
