A Proposal for the LR Team: Output Sharpening in a Soft Proof Preview!

Well, like I said, let's build up a request for the Team to give us a preview of Output Sharpening in Soft Proofing! Yeah!

For those of you who haven't been "around" the Lightroom "cycles" of development, the good news is that they do listen and respond!

Tony the issue with showing output sharpening in LR before you do the export is not trivial. For the vast majority of exports there is very likely to be a reasonable degree of resizing. That resizing will have a considerable affect on the way output sharpening will be applied to the image file.

You pretty much would have to run the export process in full to actually generate a reliable preview image. I would think that a method to allow you to view (and delete if neceaasry) a newly exported image without having to fully import it to the catalogue would provide the answer.
