Ahhhh, now I get it...you take lousy pictures and fix em up later.....
That's OK,
One day youll be able to post unedited pics and be proud of them.



Like I said, Ozzy....you have a LOT to learn.
Here's some more help....shoot in RAW (Or Nikon's NEF) and you must
apply USM in most cases as in camera sharpening is defeated. This is
how pro's work, setting USM up for their workflow. In macro work, with
shallow DOF USM is usually not applied selectively, but I wanted the
dime edge to be sharper...and it worked. The point is that you had NO
IDEA where the focus point was and I've proven it. Still worse, you
failed to understand the most elemental fact in that a shot downsized
by 500% can't be judged much for sharpness. Of course posting the crop
from the original shot proved it was sharp once and for all.
Here's a hint: Even your Canon (not known to be a sharp camera due to
the anti-aliasing filter) is conservative for ICS and you will probably
be astonished by applying USM to retrieve detail.

Hope this helps...but I SERIOUSLY doubt it!
