I'm not insulted easily ;) and please call me stupid when I forget some
important part of a tool, and thanks for the opacity option. Never
really thought of that because I assume(d) that this has the same effect
as adding less or more sharpening ussing the 'amount' slider.

I apologise if I come across as insulting your intelligence, Jack, but have you
also tried tweaking the opacity of any applicable module after your initial
sharpening attempts? I find that this is often a useful way to further
attenuate results which are otherwise too harsh.

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
