Sincerely asked.....

Why sharpen a digital shot?  What do you gain over the basic " negative" (
which could be RAW, Jpeg, TIFF or something else....) ?????

I understand correcting some color qualities, and overall "blend" of colors,
and exposure.....

But the idea of taking an image that was captured digitally and putting it
through a sharpening filter ( all the time) , somehow escapes me.......

Frank Filippone, digital-less.
