    Re: Newbi questions

    Hi and welcome. Here's two examples of one image. I generally don't sharpen in-camera because every shot is different and may take different amounts of sharpening for optimal results. This can also change based on use on the web or prints (size may change the sharpening too). This first one is, in my opinion, good - at least in the way of sharpening. The second one I oversharpened by way too much just to illustrate what can happen.

    Photoshop is a very powerful tool. There can be too much of a good thing. I'd recommend that the first step with any image be to take a good look at it and see what you really want to do with it. This step isn't usually mentioned, but this will lead to the best quality work.
