I'm just learning post processing. Sharpening is a problem for me. Would you happen to know how to tell if you are over sharp and how to gage that? I use Lightroom 3 & elements 11.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I also us LR but I do not use sharpen only clarity. I use a plug in my NIK to do my sharpening or I will use "unsharpen" in Photoshop. I shoot in raw so everything needs to be sharpened. If you are shooting jpeg you only need to sharpen a little. Go to utube for tutorials on sharpening. Many are very good and you will learn a lot.

Hi dusty3d!

Thanks for the reply. I also have NIK.

What criteria do you use to determine sharpening?

Thanks!

Shooting Raw you always use sharpen. I use the plug-in by NIK called Sharpener Pro 3. I really it and use it all the time. For output sharpening i stay between 100-110%. Sometimes if it is a little out of focus i will crank up 'focus". Landscapes where I want contrast and detail I will raise the "structure" and "contrast" and use my brush only on those areas. Most sharpening is global and that is where you get in trouble. With NIK you can control it by using the brush. You can probably download it from NIK on a trial basis. range.
