Saying that the shot of the great tit looks fine, as does the robin.When you guys talk about sharpening, are you referring to Unsharp Mask or the basic Sharpen filter? I attended a short beginners digital photography course and the tutor recommended I use Unsharp Mask at around 110%, with a radius of 2 pixels and a threshold of 1. Hence I have been using these settings on virtually all my pictures, I know this is probably incorrect, can someone clarify what the 110%, 2 pixel radius and threshold settings actually do?</blockquote>
