Re: I got my *ist D and I LOVE IT !!!

Here's a question.  There is also noise reduction ala Neat Image.  What 
would you apply first, the noise reduction or sharpening?  They somewhat 
 act against each other, but they are both useful.

Jostein,

I always apply USM at 100% magnification.
However, should you apply USM to *ist D pictures, they can only look sharp
at less than 100% magnification.
If you apply lesser USM, they don't look sharp even at 50% magnification,
while if you apply enough USM for getting sharp pics at 50% magnification
you'll see too edge effect at 100%. That's the problem with the *ist D
pictures I tried to sharpen.

That's not the case with the *ist D: when you apply enough USM to let
pictures look acceptable when smaller than 1:1 on video, when you

enalarge

them 1:1 angled lines such as hair or grass are so much saw-toothed.
Dario,
Why do you apply USM at less than 100% magnification?
In my experience, doing sharpening at less than 1:1 is risky business with
scans as well.
