Re: [Digital BW] Sharpening/downsizing for web?

2001-10-31 by Robert G. Morrison

Exactly.  I use GF for all my fine art images.  Its rather wasteful, but I
archive a 16bit NEF image, then I edit in 16 bit and save in GF at 8
bit...open at any size and sharpen. I wish that they would offer a way to
save 16 bit files in the future so that I don't have to reduce to 8 bit.
Ditto for Nik Sharpener Pro.  GF seems to work better for me than
traditional sampling techniques with my grainless digital images.  When
scanning film I seemed to get identical results...just used GF because it
was flexible and really easy.
