Responding to the inquiry by Thierry LeGros: The only images I have pulled up onscreen for post-processing are the Raws, and yes, they are particularly sharp -- very noticeably sharp compared with the "out of the box" files from other cameras. I am applying varying amounts of sharpening in Unsharp Mask in PS, but usually much much less than other files. The question for me is whether I want to leave my camera sharpening setting at zero, or move it to a negative amount. Either the sensor is showing stunning results with the Foveon technology compared to a Bayer array, or the camera is applying some sharpening even at the zero setting. I think the answer is probably the latter, in which case I would rather do it myself. --Barbara
