Unsharp Mask

[wunaladreamin]

What settings are you all using in your post processing? I'm playing around with this and it just doesn't look right. Any advice????

There was an older thread about sharpening tips, which includes some people's typical settings for USM.

Personally, I just do one pass with Amount = 300, Radius = .3, and Threshold = 0. Some photos come out too oversharpened, so I'll try 200/.3, 300/.2, and 200/.2 until I find which is best.

Actually, the amount is all that should be adjusted for good results. If you increase the amount, it won't change anything but the sharpening level.

So for me it is:

Amount: varying with how much sharpen (usually a pass at 300, possibly a second pass at like 200)
Radius: .2
Threshold: 0 (Don't have it anything different)

Thanks guys. I know about the older thread but I could not find it, which is what brought this on. I appreciate your help.
