Do you guys use the "Sharpen" tool for your photos?
So I've almost never use it before I switched to digital. Every time I scan my negatives, I just take it as it is in terms of sharpeness. I take it that I am using negative so the scanning may be a little off, and that I am using older lens so it may not be as crisp as the new and expensive ones.
Then I switched to digital and got a relatively not-ancient lens, the 20~35mm AF-D F2.8. I am still not getting those ridiculous eye ball-slicing shots! So I took one of my test shots into photoshop and applied the sharpen tool and wondered, "hmmm, is that why?"
Am I not doing something right with the way I take my photos or am I just the last one on earth to know about this unspoken secret?
