I know that all images need to be sharpened somewhat straight out of the camera and that LR2 has default capture sharpening settings, but I am trying to understand why the default settings need to be adjusted and how capture sharpening fits into the workflow. I've read the Kelby and Evening chapters on sharpening in LR2, and have the MR/JS series on the Fine Print. What I think I understand is that the amount of sharpening is output dependent. So unless I am creating a slide show to be viewed on my computer screen, why would I be concerned with capture sharpening? Assuming for example that my only output is prints, why wouldn't I sharpen only once during the printing process?
Thanks for your help.
