Opinion from sharpening experts

Back in 2008 the theory on sharpening was to sharpen the image once as the last step in the process. Now the prevailing workflow from “the Experts” is a multi-pass approach as follows:

1. Sharpen for source
2. Sharpen for content
3. If needed perform localized sharpening
4. Sharpen for output

If you want to become a “sharpening expert’” I suggest the following:
