Mark, As for the workflow between PS and LR, - I second Godfrey's suggestion.
I have salvaged a few images using Focus Magic. These were taken at some dance events, -- so no way to redo, and sometimes no time to focus more carefully. on the original capture. And LR's sharpening capability was not sufficient. However, indeed, on many occasions I found that LR's "sharpen" tool yields comparable (or sometimes even slightly better) results. I haven't tried printing from LR. Igor Fri Dec 19 10:50:10 EST 2008 Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: <..> Why do you "export" and then "reimport"? Why not just use the Lightroom command to "Edit in Photoshop" ... It renders the PSD or TIFF for you, automatically adds it to the catalog, and opens it in Photoshop for whatever editing you want to do? I haven't found a need for FocusMagic at all, personally. Tried it once or twice and it just didn't seem to do anything I couldn't do more sensibly by focusing correctly on the original capture and with Lightroom or Photoshop's supplied sharpening tools.
