But it is difficult to manipulate the apparent degree
of sharpness with regular darkroom printing processes
(short of the real "unsharp mask" process). Whereas
for the digital image, sharpness can literally be
dialed in for whatever size print and viewing distance
is required. So even if the darkroom print had higher
sharpness when viewed close up, the apparent sharpness
of the digitally aided print might be higher.
