Hi!
It's in the Tutorial Files section under one of the later chapters (I
forget which). It is called smartsharpen.atn or something very
Just thought I'd throw in my two cents on this one. I just bought a Nikon
LS-4000 to replace my Polaroid Sprintscan 4000. I made the switch purely to
get the roll film adapter. In hindsight, since it sounds like the SS4000
Plus might have the adapter that will be backwards compatible, I guess

Brian,
Honestly, it is too soon for me to answer than question. The scanning I've
done with it so far has been low-res web scanning. I certainly haven't
noticed the boundary problems you described. I have not, however, scanned
for printing at full resolution. Once I do that, I'll let post more

Isn't this boundary the halo that USM is built upon? The idea of USM (and
this is way to short an explanation) is to introduce just such edge contrast
around and/or between objects and transition zones. The width of these halos
are controlled by the Radius slider in the USM dialog box. Try

Nik Sharpener utterly useless-- it ALWAYS oversharpens, no matter what

Agreed. I've seen it in action and think it's grossly overpriced for what
little it does as opposed to custom Photoshop actions or packages like
UltraSharpenPro.
Well, now that I am done building the pages, I admit that contrary to my
initial optimism, when I view the completed pages, they are oversharpened.
Darn. I wanted this to work better. I'll play with it some more, but I
suspect I've thrown away the money.
I'll look into what you just suggested.

Sharpening is typically best done at the end, after manipulations, and
catered to a particular size/resolution/use. With that in mind, if you want
to use Nik, but it over sharpens for you, here's how I'd apply it. This is
but one way, but it's a good down and dirty way, short of sharpening

Usually I use the middle level, but on some images the lower and higher
levels have been more suitable.

I've been given a copy of NikSharpener Pro for review but have never been
happy with the degree of sharpening it gave me.
Could the people who are happy with it please give us the settings you are
using and the file size and dimensions of the intended images and their
use. Either post to the
customer and I'm sure there are many others.
