Nik Sharpener Pro
Nik Sharpener Pro 3.0 is a fine product. It does exactly what it advertises. I find the sharpening to be a grade better than what is in Photoshop by default.
I am always surprised when I use this software! I usually shoot on a rock-steady tripod. This gives my camera incredible sharpness. I zoom into 100% in Photoshop and it looks great to me! And THEN I run Sharpener Pro and I am shocked. It has a little loupe where you can compare the “before and after”… and then I look at what I thought was sharp before and suddenly it looks blurry in comparison.
I have posted a few shots below for you.
The Output sharpener brought great details. Check the Loupe on the right (before left / after right)
The Raw Presharpener ads some nice details and pop. Before is on the left and the after is on the right.
