Is this sharpened enough?

Well I think it's fine! 90% they will accept it (My opinion)

RubenZammit- 04-13-2007

Ok! Thanks (Nispera ryan li din mhux xi sabotage biex ma nkunx nista nilhqek ;) :P ... J/king)

Nice shot. A tricky one for sharpening though. The cheat lines look sharpened to the max, but the rest of the plane is still a touch soft. I would give it a bit of selective sharpening to avoid the cheat lines.

I dont have my 200mm anymore so missed all the good things recently. I can see some halos on this image.. but cant help you as I really dont know much about sharpening.. as Alan keeps telling me ;-) The way I do it... is resize in stages to 1024, adding unsharp mask at each stage (260, 0.2, 0) as seen here http://www.swish-db.com/forum/Resizing-images-t25026.html (sorry to point to another forum!!) I use this method with all my aircraft shots. once applying this, I add USM once or twice again.. to see if it improves.. usually once more is enough (just filter, unsharp mask 260, 0.2, 0) Hope this helps!

Did not understand that part where I am supposed to have told you Aaron that "you're not very good at sharpening" cannot recall anything about this :shock:
