... it seems to be correct to say that digital SLR cameras (generally
speaking) need their digital 'photos' to be 'tweaked up' and/or sharpened
using software AFTER the initial shot has been captured...
Lots of users on here keep saying with disappointment in their voices about
their brand new camera capturing pictures with a - 'soft look' or 'not very
sharp'...
I would definitely go along with this - all my good pics go into Photoshop
for 'unsharp masking' and they begin to spring to life - detail that is not
initially very clear begins to emerge....
My question (as a Canon D60 / 10D owner with only a moderate selection of
lenses - 28-135 IS - 75-300IS) is :-
How does a person with a £1000/£2000 or £3000 Canon 'L' lens take better
pictures when the detail is not visible at source... ???
If the camera is not sharpening and Photoshop is the only way to improve
what comes from the camera then even a lower priced lens can be used to get
the finished picture with correct sharpness and detail ???
Surely - it's not the camera - it's not the lens - It's Photoshop that makes
the final difference to how much detail emerges from the final picture ???
All an 'L' lens does is to give a 'bit more' detail (probably hardly
noticeable) when viewed straight from the camera - the final detail that
emerges surely must be in the proper use of the software to bring out detail
?? Too much sharpening can ruin even a shot from a £3000 lens...
