  Sharpening

  Posted by Tony Connoly on October 8, 2010 at 2:06 am

  What level of sharpening should be dialed in when using a Nikon DSLR?

  I’ve read suggestions of 0 all the way down to -5.

  Can sharpening be added in post?

  -5. For the DSLRs, always add sharpening in most if you need to. The image is already absurdly sharp due to line skipping, already.
