Subject: [Leica] IMG: Sharpening

Hi, as a total newbie to digital I scanned a lot of my prints and put  
them up as galleries without sharpening them. I just thought that the  
softness you saw was a necessary part of scanning. Mark Rabiner  
enlightened me (thanks as usual, Mark). Sharpening makes a big  
difference on most of the pictures. They were photographed with a  
Leica, not a Holga.

So, I just sharpened (unsharp masked) all the pictures on my  
Transformations (Backstage at the Peabody Opera) gallery <http:// 
gallery.leica-users.org/v/Jesse+Hellman/> as well as the Mikado  
pictures in the Opera section. I'll try to get to the Spoleto  
pictures soon.

And I understand you sharpen pictures when you print them, too.

Any feedback will be helpful.

Jesse
