I pretty much always use the equalizer for this.

tl;dr: pull up the luma spline slightly on the right hand side.

First, I'm a freelance photographer and over twenty years a user of many different pieces of
software for editing images on Windows, Mac and Linux computers. Normal, pleasant looking sharpening
was never an issue, but somehow I can't get nice looking sharpening in DT. I compared an image on my
Linux pc in Gimp, RawTherapee, DT, Aftershot Pro and Lightroom (Virtualbox), and all look good
immediately, fast and simple, except DT. Sometimes it does, most of the time it's just not exactly
right. The sharpening makes things look almost coarse, especially in areas that are densily
populated with small/tiny details. For instance, I was editing images of horses I shot during a
horse market. The tails and skins don't look 'touchable', soft, like hair or fur. I know tails of
horses can look like a brush, but in this case it was a breed of horses with soft hair. In DT they
look like if when going over those hairs with your hand you get your skin massaged. I have played
with the sliders in the sharpening module for monthss, but I find it impossible to get it right.
What are your experiences with this? And if a developer is watching this, could this module perhaps
get an update? I sometimes think these kind of modules are so basic they just exist but never get
improved ;).
By the way, I work with Nikon and Fuji cameras.
