I Haven't Forgotten You.....

Dave, I only use Photoshop, a very powerful tool. I almost never sharpen any of my files as my clients prefer to do that themselves. Sharpening can destroy an image.

I do use Aperture for importing and cataloging. Sometimes I make minor adjustments in Aperture before importing them into Photoshop.

Enjoy, errrorrrr

Dave, when I do sharpen for printing, I only use the unsharp mask. It works great for printing or Internet viewing. But when you go down to the pixel level, you really can see some destruction. As you know, my files are huge about 48 megs, a ton of information there and I don't want to hurt it. My clients can do with the image whatever they want. I offer them a perfect high rez unsharpened image that actual appears sharp without any sharpening.

I have never tried Gimp so I can't comment on that product. I know your end users here need a shrpen product so use whatever works best for you.

Dave, I shot with a 4x5 view camera and 4x5 film and only 4x5 film for about 30 years. When I finally went "digital", I had to have the "Best" for my subject matter and clients, thus the 1dsMII.

I have had it for a little over a year now and have shot about 30,000 images. I have not shot any film in about a year and a half.

Wild times.
