Hi Howard, Philippe et al,
FWIW --- I don't use lightroom, but I do sharpen after development, and I find
it much more satisfactory.

Hi David and Aram,------
I shoot in RAW and process in LR. Philippe suggests that sharpness
adjustments work better when done again, and to taste,
afterwards on the exported jpeg. I don't know if this is true or not -
depends I guess on the photo being adjusted.
I usually start in LR punching the auto tone button and then adjusting
exposure back from what comes up.Then I tweak
clarity and vibrance just a bit to give some pop to the photo - if
required.
My sharpening technique has been to sharpen about 90% with a radius of
1.0. I don't touch Detail or Masking. I rarely touched
noise reduction unless it was very high ISO (like 6400 on the Leica M10).
Philippe's suggestions to me were as follows:
Sharpening Gain about 75%, Radius 0.7, Detail about 60 and Masking 13.
For noise reduction he suggested Luminance about 15 - 16 and Detail set
around 50.
Philippe worked on the ferry photos I recently posted and these settings
produced a clearly sharper image - impressively so -
without an increase in noise grain. So I will try to work with these
sliders in future development.
Hope these suggestions are clear enough. Happy processing
Howard
