Sharpening Tecniques

I hope i have posted this on the right forum, if not perhaps admin can move it to the correct area.

After several hints to "she who must be obeyed". Santa left in my stocking this Christmas several technical books which one was, "Real World Sharpening with Abobe Photoshop; Camera Raw and Lightroom" by Bruce Fraser and Jeff Schewe. Highly recommended. It is a bit technical and I feel a good command of Photoshop, which I haven't got, would not go a miss. It also can be a bit daunting to wade through all the technical information it contains. However it has sections on how to check that your camera is focusing correctly, and how to apply different sharpening techniques for different types of photo's. There are chapters on sharpening scanned photos be it transparency film or negative. Interesting to read for general knowledge but can be skipped if you are only interested in sharpening digital photo's
I have read it twice and have started to apply some of the sharpening techniques and work flows to some of my older photo's with great success.

Delboy.

There is a LOT of info on the web about various sharpening techniques, and I know that there is a style of shot that i am aiming for that I have not yet acheived, but once I get a little more time a search for info from various sources on the net (http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&q=sharpening+techniques+in+photoshop&aq=0&aqi=g3g-m1g-o1&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&pbx=1&fp=e64ee6e4e8056c32) will also be of benefit.
