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.

Markus
