question about moire

[akimartymar]

I just did some engagement pics last weekend. After shooting a bit I noticed some moire showing up through my viewfinder on the guy's shirt so he changed shirts. I'm going through the folder today looking at the files in "filmstrip" view and those shots look fine. When I pull up the image im CS2 thr moire looks horrible. Why is that?

if im reading your post right in filmstrip view your just getting a thumbnail view of what is being shown. the thumbnails might be to small to see all the detail that is actually there. i notice the same thing with out of focus shots. they look awesome in thumbnails but are blurry in reality......

No, in filmstrip view the photo you click on gets enlarged to about half the size of the screen. There is no moire when I look at it like that. Also, once I zoom in at all in CS2 it dissapears too.

it really does not matter which viewer you are looking at.... The big thing is to look at it at 100%... That is the only way to determine 100% if you have a moire problem. Alot of times the only problem a photographer has is the strange sizes programs like to size things like 33.3% or 67.7%. Photoshop is famous for that.

I use to do all the photography for TJ Maxx. Clothing is the worst suspects of moire. I would stop shoots until we could determine if we had a moire problem. In today's age it is a less of a problem than it was in the beginning of photography.

However, tricky weaves or patterns or stitching in clothing can cause it.
