Sharpening cannot bring back detail that was blurred away, it can only enhance detail that was already captured. Now with the 5DmkII capturing more detail to begin with because of its higher resolution compared to the 14n, it should be capable of equal sharpness at smaller print sizes, but I can't get it too. Sharpen any more and they look oversharpened and ugly. Sharpening is the hardest thing to get right, I think, in digital work. So I may be doing it wrong. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 4/22/12 11:22 PM, "Jayanand Govindaraj" <jayanand at gmail.com> wrote: >Chris, >That only means that you have either not sharpened or not sharpened enough >on your Canon prints!
