Sharpening -- Part I
The late Bruce Fraser, who was 'an internationally recognised authority on digital imaging' wrote a 288 page book, just on image sharpening with P.S. CS2 - which shows just how complex the subject is!
Some photographers complain that their old point and shoot camera took much sharper images than their expensive newly acquired DSLR. This is because a P. & S. usually has heavy sharpening built-in as a default, whereas the DSLR manufacturers give the user the opportunity to post-sharpen the image to suit the output. The degree of sharpening an image requires depends on the final image size and the media on which it is to be displayed.
