Digital BW, The Print

Yeah the 1DsII and the PhaseOne H10 (that I no longer use) are crap - you
want them?  Just kidding.  (Not that you'd take the Canon as I see you are a
Nikon kind of guy...)  Seriously I found I didn't like capture sharpening on
the 1DsII files.  All sorts of artefacts in hair for example - no jokes
please.  (PK Sharpener is excellent on film.)  I have made an action of the
filters I described in my earlier post and it is much much better.  The
method was posted on Rob Galbraith's forum.  (Try it and tell me what you
think.)  I then follow it up with a PK Output Sharpen.
