I wonder if anyone have a recommendation for the sharpening setting within Smugmug's Pro accounts?
They use the Lancoz algoritm for downsizing and sharpening the original (large) images. It is possible to set the usual Strength, Radius, and Threshold parameters (as in USM) but then there is also the Sigma parameter. In the description of their default setting, they set Strength to 0.2 which is quite low for wildlife images. I have been experimenting quite a bit now and I don't seem to find a good setting for feather detail.
Anyone have refined these parameters for bird images?
Cheers, Jens.
