If I recall, this was the first time I used NeatImage. It is possible to fine tune the filter settings for "high frequency" (high detail) areas and if you're careful you can get very good results. For pathological cases I suppose you could do a selection in Photoshop and apply the NeatImage filter with different settings on this selection and on the rest of the image. >I am not sure if those images were already sharpened or not. > No, they weren't. >What do you think, having printed them? > I've only printed it in 8x10". Grain-wise the image looks very smooth. I believe that you can get a demo version of NeatImage and experiment with it. Have fun!
