[Leica] IMG: Sharpening an Image

[Jim Nichols]

Thank you, Lluis.  Yes, the early Leicas were jewels.

I have taken to heart comments that I have received when I was guilty of 
over-sharpening an image.  I try to hold it down and not produce halos.  
But, I don't see anything wrong with showing objects in their true 
appearance.

Now, I'm not talking about portraits.  Since most of your images contain 
people, then I agree with your choices.

This Olympus digital image from 2008, when I swapped from film to digital, was dressed up using Nik tools and then subjected to Level 2 sharpening with FM.  Again referring to Moose, I'm told this process is done by deconvolution.  To  me, it is just magic.
