Regardless of the camera I set sharpening to minimum, some images benefit from further sharpening some I can get-away-with as the are. When shooting RAW it's academic anyhow as the sharpening setting in camera can be overridden. > One review I read showed that if you shoot in Raw and then convert to Jpg, > the image looks much sharper than if you shot it on high sharpness, but > you'd need way too many CF cards to shoot that way. I don't quite understand this, it really depends upon the algorithms used in the RAW conversion. > What have you found to be a good USM starting point setting your *ist-d > pictures? Again it depends upon the image, sometimes as subtle as 50%, 1.0pixel, 0 threshold will do.
