Jerry,

I believe you are comparing sharpened images with unsharpened images, and,
rightly so, claiming they sharpened images are sharper.  I simply don't
believe that is a legit comparison.

Personally, I do not sharpen any of my images, and I absolutely guarantee
you my images are as sharp as you can get.

Another misnomer is what sharpness is.  If you have less tonality in the
image, you will get sharper images, simple as that.  Line art images are
sharp as a tack...only pure black, and pure white...no tones in between.
