Try using the clarity slider in LR3. I call it the pre-APO magic slider. My wife thinks this is the most significant advancement Adobe has ever made to LR. It has made me extremely popular with the women in my life.

 

Ok, what I'm really trying to say is that you can't teach an old Summilux new tricks, but you can always get the new Summilux to back-slide® if, you want.

 

My point exactly, you cant beat a bit of flattery !

Anyone know how to do that in Aperture 3? There is no clarity slider

There are a million ways to reduce detail, try more noise reduction

 

Also, can't you just downoad the latest update ?

Never too old to learn - I have +15 set for clarity as a default import setting - I like the look for most images. Cutting it back to -15 or -20 has a really interesting impact on portraits - something I shall experiment with in future.

 

And don't forget, Chris, that you can use the clarity selection for the adjustment brush and just "paint" in the areas (such as skin in portraits) that you want softened.

 

If you don't already have it, I suggest you pick up a copy of Kelby's LR book (and ignore the bad jokes). If this was new to you, I bet there are dozens of other helpful hints throughout the book.
