image detail as possible with in-camera JPEGs. (In-camera sharpness settings do not
apply to RAW files because they can be overridden during conversion.) The default "no
sharpening" setting allows maximum latitude for post-processing. In commercial
printing for example, sharpening is best applied after the image is converted to CMYK.
However, photographers who wish to reduce the need for post-processing of in-camera
JPEGs should explore the use of higher in-camera sharpness settings.

We will have further discussions on image sharpening in the Post-Processing section of
this document. For now, as mentioned previously, please note that your choice of
in-camera sharpness settings can make a big difference in the appearance of your
images, especially if you shoot in-camera JPEGs.

It should be understood that even the Level 5 setting for in-camera sharpening might
not be strong enough for some applications. In those cases, it's usually better to leave
