Capture sharpening Canon 20D

[Robert Kinchin]

Hi,

I have just purchased a 20D (8MP) is this med res or hi res ? The manual says hi res is for images of 8 or more mp but then uses 4000x2700 and upwards as the file size which is a bit confusing

regards
Robert

We recommend Digital High-Res Capture for the 20D.

Hey Bruce...how about for the 10D?

I am presently using digital mis-res superfine as anything higher up the scale seems to be too much.

What is your capture recommendation for the 10D?

10D = Digital Mid Rez

What is recommended for the 20D when I've uprezzed to the max in ACR (6144 x 4096)? I normally use high rez capture for 3504 x 2336. Should I jack up the light and dark contour to 100%?

Jordan,

As Jeff said, we recommend Digital Mid-Res for the 10D. The Edge Width setting is really image-dependent -- SuperFine will work well on "high-frequency" images with lots of fine detail, but if you apply it to a head shot, for example, you'll probably sharpen skin texture too much and eyes not enough.

Mark,

I just got a 20D. Digital High-Res at defaults seems to work pretty well on the 6144 x 4096, but if you feel you need a bit more, I suggest using Digital High-Re Capture Sharpen Expert and editing the layer masks rather than cranking the layer opacities.
