Congratulations to the winners on time well spent, and thank you Matt for the generous prizes which added a little spice to the feedback!
Your comments triggered another question. Is there any sharpening consideration when you know the output paper has texture, say canvas?
OK, now that you have the info, hurry up. My subscription to Kelby Training expires in April.
Hey Matt,
Thanks again for bring up this topic. It really does need a discussion. You mentioned that some folks were asking about Nik Software, Sharpening Pro. I had the same questions and went to their web site and found several tutorials and they also have some Webinars (that I’ve attended) that really helped me. I use their Sharpening program exclusively now.
Thank again!

Lets also recognize the work of the late Bruce Fraser, say a pray for the man who put the concept of capture, creative and output sharpening in the Photoshop community in the first place with his ground braking article and later book on the subject (http://www.creativepro.com/story/feature/20357.html). Bruce was fundamental in introducing capture (in Develop) and Output (other modules) sharpening in Lightroom, working with the engineers before his untimely demise. To Bruce!
HI…thanks for ALL your tips…??? Now that my images are sharp for print how do I use them to make a book? like Blurb. As you know they have to be taken into their program to design it…Do you export all the pictures to a flodr on your desktop to choose from or can you do it from lightroom?
I did a couple books, but before I got LR. I just sharpened them as I would for printing and then put them into their own folder to make it easier to find and place them in Booksmart.
I wouldnt apply a specific sharpening on yr images for print, cause the software of blurb or whatever will sharp them again or at least before printing, I would make them sharp for general use, like a standard sharpening. And sRGB. Cause most people don`t care about color spaces, they do not even know what that means.
Thanks for the great feedback Matt and look forward to more on this topic.
When is Kelby Training coming to the iPad?
Looking forward to the end results..

Sorry about this Matt but, anyone shooting with Canon try and get a copy of the latest EOS magazine (Oct-Dec), published in the UK. It has a good article on how much sharpening your camera is going to need / want in PS-cs and Elements, Camera RAW, as well as LR.
For USM:
Amount: 200-250%
Radius: 0.3-0.4 Pixels
Threshold: 0 or 1
These are Canons recommendations for low iso shots.
High iso are 250-350%, 0.3 pixels, 4 or 5.
Theres more in the article.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Hi Matt
Thanks again for all your help over the years with lightroom. I have picked up so many tips from your blog, improving my skills over the course of time. Only thing I wish is that the photoshop team could come over to Ireland, as I’m always missing out on those roadshows.
Maybe one day.
