[QUOTE="westmill, post: 60620, member: 9330"] Its a little of everything realy, rather than just one thing. Good exposure Fine ISO good sharp lens and good processing. Ive noticed, when downloading on here, all my pics lose a lot of sharpness. They all look shabby in comparison to the originals. Ive noticed if I actualy over sharp them they work a little better though. But ive still yet to download one as good as it realy is. For realy fine work, Ive found that using unsharp mask for RAW files set at 100 seems about right for most. When converted to JPG though, you can resharpen again in unsharp mask to 12. ( this is in capture NX2... Others may vary ) This is genraly enough to give incredable detail. Having a perfect exposure also effects apparent sharpness. Its this sharpness I feel is what creates that glassy look. Once you start to push and pull shadow and highlight it seems quality suffers slightly. If you want the ultimate quality finnished product, do as i suggest above but turn into a tiff rather than a jpg and then convert your tiff to a jpg. Its a lot of extra trouble, but its worth it :D [/QUOTE]
