Web Sharpening
I'm curious about that too. So I just did a quick test and did not get the result I was expecting at all! I sent the same file from raw converter to Photoshop twice. First time with raw sharpening on 0, second time on 8. Comparing them side-by-side in Photoshop the sharpened photo looked sharper as you'd expect. I then resized (bicubic sharper best for reduction) both of them in Phot...

V5 Gallery Upgrade
I had a problem last week when I got a message that there were more than ten tags and would it not continue to upload. It therefore appears that nine more tags can be added in addition to the main one.

Guy Gowan would tell you that this is exactly how he does it (ok with Aperture or ACR instead of Lightroom and perhaps not the clumsy messing about!) Having said that, Lightroom does have a lot going for it too. O...

How To Achieve Sharp Pictures.
Trying to simplyfy things: if at all possible use a quality tripod with a strong head. Always use cable release set camera to mirror up or mirror delay mode if it has it. A lot will depend on the lens but most are at the optimum at F5.6 to F8. If you do landscapes learn about hyperfocal distance but very crudely focus 1/3 way into the scene. Always use Raw, apply both capture sharpening ...

RAW
OK. Open the program, click on folder view button. Down the left hand side should be a windows navigator like window, just navigate up and down to the folder where your RAW images are. Open that folder and it should draw lots of thumbnail images on the right. Click the tools button and the tools menu should turn up .Double click any thumbnail you want to edit and it opens bigger to make it ...

Best methods for sharpening
PixelGenius Photokit Sharpener... One of the best plugins you'll ever use. I was introduced to this plug-in fairly recently, and would happily recommend it. Produces excellent results.
