Agree completely. What's a few extra seconds for better image quality? Besides, I use high pass sharpening, not USM or in camera.

+1, and that's your fault, BTW (very old thread)

I have seen in camera (anything) wreak havoc with JPG results direct from the camera.

Can you post a side-by-side example where PP sharpening is superior in every case? I did this test in my photo editor, and determined that the amount of sharpening (due to Canon's anti-aliasing filter) was the same in every photo. I'm not talking about custom sharpening where you have camera shake or other photo-by-photo correction that's needed. I'm talking about a general preference for reducing the anti-aliasing filter in every photo.

Using my editor, the effects were identical. Having the camera do it has virtually eliminated me having to do one more step in PP. People say there are equipment snobs, I say there are PS snobs. I've heard a photog say he would NEVER let the camera do anything, only HE can do it on post. Geez.

I don't add any sharpening on any cameras, I like to control that in post. I use PhotoKit Sharpener, it has a 3 step workflow, and provides a very fine degree of control with layers.

Honestly, my two cents about it is that I personally dont like letting the camera sharpen. I feel that PS does a very good job of it.

That being said, Im happy with the results I get and so are other people so Im not going to bother messing with it. Instead of sitting here analyzing every little step in taking pictures and trying to formulate some way to drop .02 seconds off of PP time per picture, Ill just go out and do what I always do and have fun doing it.

DO WHATEVER WORKS FOR YOU! And who cares what other people do
