Did you enable "high quality export" in the settings? Explanation: With HQ export, the pipeline processes the RAW at full resolution, applies sharpening there and downscales the image afterwards. Problem: After downscaling, a second round of sharpening should be applied since small details get lost and the overall impression of sharpness is lower. Without HQ export, some modules (e.g. noise reduction) perform different depending on the export resolution, since the RAW is downscaled at the beginning of the pipeline. The results did not match the 100% darkroom preview. But sharpening is applied properly ... My approach: Export always at full resolution and downscale afterwards using a shellscript which performs incremental downscaling and sharpening (reduction to at most 2/3 of the size, apply slight sharpening, repeat until desired resolution is achieved). Guess i could write a lua integration some day.
