Hi Stan,
I may have mis-spoken or at minimum, been misunderstood.
You are correct that sharpening should occur prior to printing. Saving
the image sharpened is not necessary, and may, in fact, be detrimental
since sharpening adjustments vary depending upon final output size and
other factors.
Art,
There is a current wisdom among many including some industry gurus that
because of the points you make regarding captures by scanners (and I might
add digital cameras), it is beneficial to apply slight sharpening to an
image prior to doing any editing of the image, additional sharpening at
What you are saying makes sense, in terms of the progressive unsharp
masking process, and indeed my own workflow sometimes includes this.
One of the reasons I came to this was because I found occasional
upsetting artifacts showing up once I had completed the manipulation and
compositing work when
Are either of you allowing your scanner software to do the initial
slight sharpening, or doing it post-scanning?

I have never let the scanner software do any sharpening or resampling if I

editing programs are two fold, although there are other reasons as well.
Hello,
I am seeking an opinion about the purpose for sharpening a certain type of
image. I have a large batch of unsharpened scans of various cloud forms and
skies. In most cases ground detail is minimal or dark. Do you think there is
any merit to doing any sharpening to this kind of subject
I am not sure that that is an answerable question without actually seeing
the various images.
