When I have a particularly noisy or photo lacking in sharpness I use Topaz Photo. It generally works well and the ability to manually adjust the strength of the adjustments and the preview makes it easy to use. For minor adjustments I use the noise reducing and sharpening functions in Adobe CameraRaw.

Gotta K-3iii now, had a K-S2, K50 and so suffering from a relapse and so buying digital camera kit.
Previous addiction has resulted in using Zeniths, Yashicamat, Chinons, Minoltas, Samsungs, Fujis, Cosina, Kodak, Lumix, Canon, Nikon and Pentax etc etc - have tried most makes in the past 50 years. Love cameras - love taking photos even more

Over a decade ago when phones didn't rule and digital cameras were still the thing to have, John Riley wrote some 'beginners' articles on this site about how to sharpen digital images. Here they are:
- https://www.pentaxuser.com/article/photoshop-sharpening-technique-262
- https://www.pentaxuser.com/article/sharpening-method-in-photoshop-263
A few years later, he started a 'sticky' thread in 'General Digital Photography chat that expanded on the articles and wandered into what other people did for sharpening. Here it is:
- https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/sharpening-in-photoshop-38623
Does anyone fancy producing an update on sharpening that takes into account developments over the last decade ?
Over to you, folks ...

I use Dx0 PureRaw2 at the moment with my RAW files.
This Short Eared Owl flew around last Monday at RSPB Bempton but - as you would expect - never close enough to get great photos with my 50-300 PLM lens
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
I know that sometimes these AI progs can overdo things a wee bit . . . .
