Nathan,
If it is for just showing on the web you need not add any in post processing
- your conversion to JPG will add some anyway, presuming you are shooting in
RAW. If you are shooting in JPG, the camera will add sharpening, though you
can control the amount to some extent. If you are shooting RAW files, and it
is for printing at A4 and above, capture sharpening is essential.
Cheers
Jayanand
