I don't know your level of experience, but you could be dealing with some perception and or understanding issues about "sharpness" and how what you see could also be depth of field issues, composition issues, diffraction or just a cheap lens. Not sure if that happened yest, but I always reset to 35 as a start point and to be honest, don't play with sharpening much because I don't print big. There were some influential people at Fuji working with Adobe to get that right. For example, with Fuji GFX, we all know that since the fist Fuji Medium Format camera, Adobe has set the sharpening amount too high at 40. Find out the best start point for Adobe LR as the default base. To be honest, and this is my opinion, sharpening tools in LR and PS (or any program) are the most overused, least understood and easiest to mess up that any other function.Īnother point - know your camera and talk to other pros who shoot it. With GFX MF, one is limited in DOF in comparison with FF or APSC, so I'm careful about where I want focus to be, and I know I can't fix OOF zones of the image with sharpening. I shoot GFX medium format and I'm a resolution freak and have an eye for image fidelity and what you call sharpness. Are you sharpening for viewing on big 4K professional monitors or something less like a tablet or laptop or even phone screen? Are you printing big? I think you need to take this question also to the forum of your camera on DPR. Tell me what camera or cameras you are shooting and what it is you are seeking. Steve, I could talk to you a lot about sharpening but I'm not sure what you are getting at.
