AfterCapture features Mikkel Aaland

Ethan Salwen talks about about photo capture-sharpening practices in AfterCapture and features O'Reilly author Mikkel Aaland.

"There are compelling reasons to apply capture sharpening during the RAW conversion process," explains Mikkel Aaland, a San Francisco-based photographer and digital-imaging expert. "And there are compelling reasons to turn off a converter's sharpening function and wait until the file is in Photoshop." In accurate, down-to- earth language, Aaland outlines some of these reasons in his book Photoshop CS2 RAW (O'Reilly, 2006). However, Aaland encourages photographers not to hyperventilate over this topic. What's called for is simply a basic understanding of how to approach capture sharpening during RAW conversion (or not) in a way that best meets your specific workflow needs."
