I have not found that to be so from my own practice. I think their advice is built around the idea that noise is the greater problem over sharpness. If you do any research, you will discover that my advice is the opposite of what many pundits believe. I find myself much happier with a sharp and slightly noisy photo than I am with a “creamy” and “plastic” photo with little detail. Then when the Base level sharpening is complete (and perhaps after detailed sharpening as well), only then attempt to find the balance between noise and sharpness. My advise is to sharpen first without regard to noise. Finding the ideal compromise between noise and sharpness can be difficult, but I think the techniques I describe can at least lessen the pain and make having sharp images a pretty consistent experience for you. It is my belief that sharpness often gets ignored or compromised in the rush to eradicate any hint of noise. One of the great ironies of digital photography is that noise can actually increase the appearance of sharpness. It has been my experience that people start to worry about noise too soon. Other software may (and probably will) require different levels and a will offer a different User Interface for the controls they provide.Ī word of warning regarding the relationship between sharpening and noise.
My advice regarding the various scalar levels of the controls, and how the controls are operated by the user, are specific to ACDSee Pro 7. As a result, users of software other than ACDSee Pro 7 might find this text useful. Because I have a compulsive need to provide detail and explanation, I have included some background information on sharpening in general. This article is designed to provide a specific practical flow of work for providing an overall, high quality base level of sharpening using ACDSee Pro 7.
