looked at a 24 1.4 II f/7.1 shot, 5D2, center frame
DPP sharpness 0, turning on DLO did sharpen it up noticeably, if not as dramatically for the OP\'s shot, but it as looking good until....
i opened the RAW in ACR and simply used it\'s dumb ACR sharpening at radius .5, level 25, detail 25 and, if anything, I saw a bit more detail from the ACR version
however, it\'s hard to know what fair parameters are for comparison, i had dlo at maybe 65%, maybe i could have run it nearer to 100 (it defaulted to 50) and maybe i could have added a trace of regular DPP sharpening first too (although not sure that would be fair)
it\'s hard to compare, but that perhaps flawed test made the whole thing seem a lot less stunning, but again, it might not have been fair to DLO
and i should mention that while the center, if anything, had a trace LESS detail, once I looked near the very far edges the DLO version did fix CA more perfectly and was a bit crisper there I couldn\'t get ACR to match it on the far edges or corners, no matter what was adjusted in ACR
