Ok can we talk about sharpening and PP??

PetKal or Wing or anyone who may be lurking

I am using the MKII and I like to up size my images and then they need sharpening

How much do you sharpen? What method works best for our birds?

Any other tips for PP would be great!!



I start with in-camera settings of Sharp (6), Contrast (1), Sat (2) and Tone (0).
If properly focused, exposed etc., those JPGs do not need any PP work.
On occasion I pass an image thru USM......typically 200-300/0.3/0.
However, when doing enlargement cropping for web posting, I vary USM untill the cropped image looks OK.
Also, after NR, I usually sharpen using USM.

All in all, my emphasis is on camera/lens work so that I do not have to do fancy PP which holds no appeal to me. I guess that\'s why I seldom shoot RAW.
