I may regret getting involved in this discussion, but it's hard to let this pass. In real life, you don't have to compare a digital image to the original scene to know what's noise and what isn't. Blue sky is about as noiseless a source as you can find, so any noise you see is in the capture process. Also, a Bayer pattern interpolator doesn't introduce noise, unless it's processing an image that already looks like noise, and it can't find anything coherent to do edge detection on. But in that case, who cares? -- Ciao, Paul D.
