Sharpening

Im having a hard time finding the best way to sharpen. I have my in camera sharpening set to 5. I usually do some mild sharpening in lightroom, but don't really care for how Lightroom does it. I like high pass sharpening, but takes WAY to long to do that to every photo I want sharpened.

-What are some of the way you sharpen?
-Is there a max you sharpen up to in camera and lightroom? (EX: camera 5/lightroom 70)
-is there a preset in Photoshop i can just run my images through without having to do it step by step?

I use Photokit Sharpener from Pixel Genius LLC. Its a Photoshop plug-in. I'm presently using v1.2.9. It has some extremely complex routines and even now (I've had it for 6 years) I'm still learning.

There is no single sharpening method that suits every image, but I generally use Capture Sharpen, then Edge Sharpen 2 and follow that with print sharpening at 360ppi.

If you shoot Raws, the camera setting is irrelevent. That is for jpgs only.

If I were to shoot jpgs (which I haven't done in ten years), I would set sharpening as low as possible because you can always easily add more sharpening, but undoing too much sharpening is extremely difficult.

The four parameters (sliders) in LR are interrelated, specifying one in isolation is meaningless. It appears that you need to learn quite a bit about sharpening. This is a very good place to start:

There are two sharpening presets among the ones bundled with LR. For PS there are dozens of actions available, start here:

Thanks for the sharpening article link. I'm learning as well and this article will help me.

LR and jpeg...sounds like an oxymoron to me.
