Really sorry but I couldn't get a definitive answer on this. I saw it was mentioned way back in the thread but didn't get what I thought was a clear answer. I am like one of the previous posters and like no Noise Reduction on my photos. It seems like camera-ui2 has a better system for noise reduction than the stock camera however I could be imagining it. Noise reduction (AFAIK) reduces grain at the expense of resolution. I used to own a digital camera that used to have no noise reduction and it produced a lovely grainy quality on black and white photos, much like a grainy film does. Anyway, is there a way short of using FCAM and processing the images by hand of removing noise reduction altogether? I tried using the built-in JPEG codec (the jpegcodec instead of the dspjpegcodec) and it seems to make the noise reduction worse.

Any ideas and apologies if this has been done before. Please also understand I've a couple of really bad experiences with FCAM and the like with lockups needing reinstalls and so forth..

Thanks in advance for any replies
