Linear Sharpen D60 beta by Pekka Saarinen

 

   Following his famous LS action for the D30 , Pekka , spoils the D60 users with a similar action .

   It's an incredible tool that allows lots of adjustments . Very well done and immensely useful .

   This beta version is so elaborated , I can't wait to try the definitive version !

   What's even better , this action works also with the D30 ! The only restriction I've found so far is not to use the sharpening options 

   which seems to be designed for the D60 only . 

   To sharpen my pics after running LS , I use Michael Thomas Mitchell's UltraSharpen action .

   A combination that produces very rewarding results .

   I also tried the setting Medium Strong in LS , which seems to oversharpen a bit .

   Samples below are from D30 files - Canon 70-200mm L 2.8 - ISO100 - RAW- AWB 

   Low Winter sun , approx 1 hour before sunset , hence the very warm color .

 

   1st row : Using Michael Thomas Mitchell's UltraSharp

   2nd row : Using Pekka's Medium Strong setting .

 

   For both : only Auto Contrast in PS and Saturation adjustment in LS
