My workflow for MF is that I do all raw processing in Capture 1. I do no sharpening at all there. Then I bring it into CS5 and do layer adjustments; no sharpening there. Then I import to LR just to organize stuff and throw it onto a web page; standard output sharpening done there. That's it; honest Abe!
