I have always felt Lightroom's sharpening to be inferior to many of the alternatives out there -- specifically C1, DxO Photolab. However, I prefer LR tone and color, especially since I use custom camera profiles. I know that I can sharpen later in post using plugins like Topaz Sharpen AI or the older Detail etc. However, for right out of the program, I feel LR is still inferior. My default is 85, .7, and masking between 10-25. I find any more than that tends to look like crap, so I do my final in PS.
Has anyone found a better way?
