p.1 #1 · Lightroom rendering of high ISO D700 files - high chroma noise?
I'm wondering if this is normal, but I'm finding that lot of files at high ISOs viewed in Lightroom 2.0 show a lot more color noise than say Capture NX? I'm quite puzzled by this.... Is this normal? It's really a night and day difference... the noise in Capture NX has a much more pleasant appearance.

OK, never mind. The problem is obviously me and not Lightroom. :o I just realized that I was looking at NEF files without noise reduction and and the JPEGs which obviously must have noise reduction. Hell, of course they are going to look less noisy. :o I am feeling very silly about starting this thread now
EDIT : opening NEF files in Irfanview still doesn't display the noise in NEF that is present in those files in Lightroom... what gives? I'm sure it's me being an idiot again.
