Sharpening

Incidentally when I went back to the parameter where there is "normal sharpening", i.e. default, I cannot see any difference, Jon

Jon the default settings in CS2 are for the sharpening to be 25%. Adobe cannot read the tagged information contained within the raw file so any settings you have in-camera are not used. The is a solution to your problem though. In Bridge select edit from the top and go down to 'Camera Raw Preferences' this will open the preferences box. From the drop down menu 'apply sharpening to' select preview images only.

The default is all images. When you next convert a raw file it will only apply the sharpening to the preview and not the process image.

Hope this helps
