Digital BW, The Print

Well I use PK Sharpener and now that I have a high res digital I am not so
sure about it.  It has never worked well with images from a PhaseOne back
and is not doing a great job with my 1Ds MK II images.  I have the latest
version of it.  Hence my question re sharpening in a RAW processing app such
as Capture One Pro (which I use).  PK Sharpener is excellent with scanned
colour film but I have doubts about its performance with clean high res
digital camera images.
