Gimp is an option, but not when using DT as the tool to edit, manage and
exports lots of images. But I do use Gimp from time to time to adjust
brightness and shadows using the dodge and burn tool, which makes
working with images much more intuitive than the slow and rather
'technical' way of working with masks.

Jack,
I don't know if it's the correct/usual work flow, but I never sharpen in
DT, because I don't know yet the destination of the image.
So I save the image full size without sharpening.
If am scaling the image for the web, or using all/some pixels in a
large/small print, it will need a different sharpening.
Later, I will use Gimp to finish the image.
ciao,

Hi Rob,
I'm gonna watch that video! But even if this is what I need, it's not
the place for (quickly) sharpening an image. It just means there is a
flaw in the sharpening module that makes people find alternatives for
sharpening, like you did :).

I pretty much always use the equalizer for this.

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

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.
Jack
