Alpha: Are you suggesting unsharp AFTER .JPG-conversion? My advice to many has been "don't do ANYTHING after JPG'ing -- especially unsharp!" (well, now that I think about it, I guess increasing saturation or shifting the hue afterward is even WORSE) I also remind'm not to use too big of a 'radius' number for unsharp -- I most often use .67, even on a fairly large image (maybe up to 800X600, I mean). I see brazen over-use of unsharp all over the place these days (catalogs and newspapers and such), but on the same token, I think a descrete amount is MANDATORY after resampling. APF: That's a beautiful subject for the study, but I think it needs more depth of field, whatever it takes -- I mean these view camera freaks (I wish I were one) are running f/32 all the time, and taking, like, eighteen second exposures! Merry Christmas!
