[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 629412, member: 13090"] You are both correct and thanks for pointing that out. I too like to start with a purely unsharpened image and whats more is the default sharpening applied in ACR, and I assume LR is the same, is also global. What's neat is you can hold down the ALT key (in Windows, not sure what the equivalent is on a MAC) while clicking and dragging the Masking slider to [I]selectively[/I] sharpen. When you press the ALT key while holding your click on that slider the image will turn completely white, indicating the entire image has been selected for sharpening. Dragging the Masking slider to the right, while holding down the ALT key allows you to control more precisely what's being sharpened. I find myself dragging that slider right to numbers such as 80 or 90, sometimes more, because I want to sharpen edges only probably 99% of the time. Again, the exact numbers will vary depending on the image. That's how it works in ACR, not sure if it's exactly the same in LR but I would guess that it is. [/QUOTE]
