Sorry if  this sounds too basic and I am struggling.
So much that I've read seems  geared to RGB that I'm looking for advice about 
sharpening 
Grayscale  images. Yes, I've searched the archives at DB&WTP, and Googled, 
and what  I've 
found seems dated, RGB,  and unclear.
PhotoKit, Pixel Genius  suggests 
1:Capture sharpen{easy/gentle with an edge mask}, 
2:Creative  sharpen, 
3:Output sharpen, {for the method, size and DPI} 
meaning 2 or  3 sharpening passes. AND Photokit only works in RGB!
Convert to RGB? Then  back again for output? What's the workflow look like?
Other sources suggest  sharpening for output at the end of the workflow. 
{only one pass} 
I'd  appreciate hearing from the experienced members on the subject of 
sharpening  
Grayscale images for Ink jet output. 
FYI
Mac OS 10.4.7   PS2
NEC LCD calibrated monitor
Epson R2400
Specific project is 645  B&W NEGS Fuji Acros scanned with an Imacon
Anyone willing to share  their secrets?

Thanks,
Julian Kaiser




Julian:
Are you scanning in RGB? If you scan in grayscale, you lose  information.
