Output Sharpening
« on: June 05, 2012, 08:32:59 am »

I need to print some large photo books that I have designed in InDesign. The final pages all need to be sent as hi res JPGs. With that in mind, this is what I was thinking:

1. Import images into LR4, color correct, capture sharpen, export without any sharpening at max size.
2. Place images in InDesign, resize as necessary.
3. Run a script that will resize all images placed in InDesign to 100%, run PKS, relink images to InDesign.
4. Export InDesign pages to a PDF and then rasterize as JPGs. (There is an option to go directly to JPG in InDesign, but I prefer Photoshop doing the rasterizing and JPGs)
 
Does that sound right to you?

Answered on the Lightroom forums (and the answer is use PKS halftone sharpening).

Yes, it's the best workflow I've found after doing my own tests.

Thanks for your response. Do you use SharedInk as well? Would you mind me asking what output sharpener settings you use in PKS?
