picture style sharpness setting

I AM ONLY INTERESTED IN YOUR SETTINGS IF YOU SHOOT JPEG
I am wondering what those of you that shoot Jpeg have set your picture style sharpness to.

Please include the following when replying:
1.) Camera Model: ex. 1ds mkIII, 40D, Rebel XSI.... etc.

2.) Picture Style: ex. standard, nuetral, faithful....etc.

3.) Sharpness level: ex. 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7

4.) Your style of shooting: ex. landscape, sports, portraits, birds...etc.

For those of you that shoot RAW a quick poll above.

It doesn't matter if you shoot RAW or jpeg. You still have to worry. The question is not if, but when, since if you shoot RAW, you can change your settings as you like after the fact, but for jpeg, you get a better result if you get it right the first time.

During the brief period when I shot jpgs on my first digital camera nearly ten years ago, I always set sharpness to the lowest possible setting, operating on the theory that it's easier to add more in post than to undo excessive sharpening. I guess even then I was a RAW shooter at heart.

I am a Linux user, and have chosen not to use Wine and Photoshop. Instead I use Digikam's Lighttable. Lighttable has almost all of the functions found in Lightroom. I just started shooting with my camera below and shoot everything in RAW.

I do my sharpening in Photoshop and not the camera. In fact, my camera settings are set to Neutral and do everything else in post processing of the RAW image.

1.) Camera Model: 50D

2.) Picture Style: standard

3.) Sharpness level: Favorite way right now is to duplicate, overlay, high pass, adjust opacity

4.) Your style of shooting: ex. mostly birds

Chose other because there was no option for both Lightroom and Photoshop. Trying to up my knowledge base on both.

I presently use Photoshop but, will soon try Lightroom... I have always shot RAW for the past five or six years. Prior to that I shot RAW + JPEG large because I was nt confident enough to shoot RAW alone.

Thanks Diamond Lil, this is exactly how I was hoping people would post in this thread!

I shoot RAW and most of my post processing is done in DPP

I do most of my output resizing and cropping etc. in Photoshop.

LR does apply a small amount of capture sharpening on the full size raw files though.

1.) Camera Model: 5D2 & 450D

2.) Picture Style: Standard [have never ever changed it]

3.) Sharpness level: Shoot RAW - Usually sharpen in LR & then smart sharpen in CS2 after resizing for web/flickr use.

4.) Your style of shooting: Portraits, City/Urban, Automotive, Landscape, Random

Thanks Lee,
I was only looking for jpeg shooters

Shawn it would appear a few have not read your orginal post or fail to understand your request
It might be a good thing to eliminate the Raw poll & option all together (possibly a seperate thread for RAW) & repost this one with jpeg camera settings .

I see many people shooting RAW but still adjusting their picture style. In RAW picture style has no effect.
