I discussed this with the guy who runs the photo lab at he camera shop I
use. He has also been a professional photographer in a former life, shooting
Hassys.
He said he doesn't like to use the 'sharpen' tool at all, but shoots RAW and
'sharpens' his images by making the red, blue, green curves coincide. At
least that is what I think I heard him say.
