The Canon D60 CSpro 16-bit* Plugin is a new sharpening technology specific designed to accommodate the Canon D60 SLR files. This plugin is compatible with JPEG files straight from the camera or TIFF/JPEG files converted from RAW.

*This plugin only works with 16-bit files when using Photoshop CS. When using Photoshop Elements 1 and 2, Photoshop 6.0 or 7.0, it will only work with 8-bit files.

The D60 CSpro Plugin is compatible with Photoshop Elements 1 and 2, Photoshop 6.0, 7.0 and Photoshop CS.

NOTE: PC and MAC FM plugins are offered as separate packages. Make sure to order the correct one for your operation system.

Included are 5 automated intensity levels and 2 Tweak levels.

 

Below is an example comparing the D60 RAW file converted to 8-bit tiff with no sharpening as camera parameter against Photoshop USM and the "high" D60 CSpro setting:

D60 (low sharpening parameter)

Photoshop USM (Unsharp mask)

D60 CSpro

Notice the accentuated halo effect from the Photoshop's USM setting compared to the D60 CSpro. Also pay attention to the amount of noise created by USM. The D60 CSpro does not increase noise and sharpens only what needs to be sharpened. That's what I meant by smart :-)

Now, let's compare USM and D60 CSpro with foliage against the sky. By the way all the samples are 100% crops from full 8-bit tiff files saved as jpg low compression.

Photoshop USM (Unsharp mask)

D60 CSpro

On the above demonstration, you can see that the D60 CSpro does not sharpen the sky (keeping the sky noise identical to the original file) and applies haloless sharpening to the foliage and other elements. Again, these are 100% crops.

It's worth noting that D60 CSpro can be used with any type of images, from portraits, landscape, still-life and especially with HIGH ISO files. It sharpens your D60 files and keeps noise and artifacts to a minimum. (Also works with jpeg files straight from the camera.)
