Guest stnami Posted March 26, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted March 26, 2007 ... don't go there as it is a bit harsh on the images.. sharpening tools has improved and using unsharpen mask, along with high pass etc is only one component............use a dedicted sharpener Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanJW Posted March 26, 2007 Share #3 Â Posted March 26, 2007 any tips for best Unsharp Mask results. Â I don't use unsharp mask. I use Nik Sharpener, which allows for what it calls RAW sharpening as well as specific algorithms for different ink jet printers. The M8 calls for a light hand on the sharpening, and with Nik I rarely go beyond 50% Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill W Posted March 26, 2007 Share #4 Â Posted March 26, 2007 Not so much a tip on unsharp mask but I find smart sharpen easier to use. I do not remember where I first read about it, probably Shutterbug or Outdoor Photographer. Also, M8 files do not need much sharpening before they have untidy artifacts in them. 25 to 50% at the most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdrmd Posted March 26, 2007 Share #5 Â Posted March 26, 2007 Try PhotoKit Sharpener; it is quite good. Be sure to read the instructions. DR Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted March 27, 2007 Share #7 Â Posted March 27, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I only use USM for quick and dirty. I prefer either manual luminance sharpening or as a program focal blade for decent results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
