Probably an example would aid me......

What I do not understand is why digital "requires" sharpening, when for the
past 150 or so years, film did not.  

Or was it that film did not have this facility ( other than some pretty
obscure and relatively rarely used masking techniques) and digitally, the
facility is only a mouse click away?

I think you actually need to play with a digital image to understand
what's going on, Frank. The result is very real and obvious even on
images you wouldn't suspect would react well.

Would an example help you?
