[Leica] IMG: Sharpening an Image

[Nathan Wajsman]

It is a beautiful camera, for sure!

As for sharpening: I do not use any of the sharpening tools except Clarity. And none of my images is every processed in anything outside LR—in fact, I do not even have PS anymore.

To each his own, I guess…

Cheers,
Nathan

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.
