Lightroom and Sharpening

Nothing. I only do ColorNR in either LR or DPP. But I'd use FlexNR if that were working on OSX...

I don't need NR that often; anything below ISO 1600 I'd not use it anyway.
If it is severely needed, I make do with PS.

Even when I use the "sharpen for print - sharpening amount high " I still don't get enough sharpening in my opinion, so I use a photoshop droplet

Thanks for the welcome Mike.

Till now I've been using DPP, which does most things for me, but not all. Sharpening it does well and simply (I shoot only RAW).

I'm overhauling my workflow and playing with Lightroom whilst still using DPP this mo. I prefer working in one product only - if it'll be LR then so be it - and working the images from start to finish. I don't like the idea of going outside for just one step (i.e. sharpening).

So you suggest to work the image to completion, export to JPG (as normal) then apply sharpening with my 'external' [or basically the other] product, then save again?

Having a great deal of issue with some iso's and noise with the 7D especially with certain lens.
What is this other product you talk of?

Jaycky, what software have you been using? Are you shooting jpegs or Raw?

DPP = Digital Photo Professional: Free program bundled with Canon cameras for RAW conversion and basic editing.

LR = Adobe Lightroom: Software for digital assets management, RAW conversion and photo editing. It has more editing functions than DPP but less than many pixel-level editors.

Jaycky - Noise is not dependent on the lens used, it is entirely a product of the camera's electronic imaging system, but it can very much be connected to ISO. It is to be expected in high ISOs that there will be more noise, but the phenomenon can be alleviated in post-processing. If you can be more specific and post examples, maybe we can help.
