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

2001-11-29 by Jerry Olson

Carolyn, try it for web use. It really works. This is only for the
smaller low res files. I never use it for anything else.

If there is too much sharpening, just fade it back a little. I usually
can do it twice before I get objectionable artifacts, so I fade the
second application back to about 50 percent or so.
