A tuft for Tuesday
The Leica User Group has been discussing the use of sharpening when post processing digital camera files. The Leica M8, M9 and DMR use CCD sensors without anti-alias filters. A number of us on the list believe that increases the rendering of fine detail and makes the use of sharpening an optional, aesthetic choice, rather than a necessary one.
The photograph below, from a RAW DMR file was processed in Lightroom with image sharpening at 0, and Output sharpening at OFF.
