There were two interesting threads yesterday that I wished to investigate.
Moose discussed halos, and someone mentioned in-camera sharpening with the E-3.
I went into my E-1 menu and reset the in-camera sharpening from "0" to "2". I
went outside and took several images. What I saw led me to believe that my
work flow, using Elements 11, did not benefit from the in-camera sharpening.
Perhaps Olympus software handles it differently. What I did note was that the
halo around the leaf in this image was definitely noticeable, with no
sharpening in post-processing.

I then reset the in-camera sharpening to "0" and tried to repeat the image.
The lighting had changed somewhat, but the resulting image was better, and the
halo was less noticeable. I decided I will not use in-camera sharpening,
because I feel I can do a better job in post-processing. Here is the image.
