I have found that the best monitor view of an image is simply NOT the image I want to print. To print, the image must be a tiny bit above the comfortable level when viewed on a monitor.

The link is to a pretty good tut for image sharpening.  This is not the everyday stuff and will take extra effort, extra time and Photoshop©.

Can you recommend settings for sharpening images with unsharp mask or the "smart sharpen" in Photoshop?  Settings for unsharp mask should do fine in other software.

A while back someone here, perhaps Onslow, recommended some settings for unsharp mask to use in web and print images.   Can anyone let us know what really works?

Thanks for any input.     TomD'Art.
