different ways of sharpening, btw. For example RAW sharpening vs. conversion to LAB and channel sharpening. Cheers, Jostein - Original Message - From: "David Madsen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Pentax Discuss List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, Marc

I find the PS CS raw converter sharpening is much more subtle than the PhotoShop tool. I generally go to 50 or 55. I don't know what those numbers mean, but the results look good an print nicely. Paul On Mar 14, 2004, at 5:50 PM, David Madsen wrote: I just tried the RAW plug-in for Photoshop wit

Hi Dave ... There's no "magic number" for sharpening, and there are several techniques. Assuming that you're using a digital image for the base, convert to lab mode, and bring up the lightness channel. Sharpen only that channel. Set the threshold to zero, pixels to one, and USM sharpness to 10.

I just tried the RAW plug-in for Photoshop with great success. I do, however, need a refresher course on sharpening. I am having trouble finding the balance between too much and not enough. David Madsen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.davidmadsen.com
