Yes it really is super sharp. Great shot.
This is something I keep meaning to ask everyone.
How do you sharpen?
What software?
What are your typical settings?
Do you use a formula or just do it by eye?
Probably out of step with everyone else as I am trying to leave behind the desktop and work exclusively on an iPad. It's they way forward but still lagging behind desktop processing ( Photoshop and Lightroom) at the moment. Until full PS is available on iPad I am persevering with Affinity.
Historically on the desktop I used high pass filter and mid contrast sharpening techniques I created and made into PS Actions. Of course they don't work in Affinity ...so I need to revisit the sequences and see if they can be recreated in Affinity. In the meantime, I am doing very little sharpening while I am getting to grips with basic techniques and new equipment!.
I have used the Clarity (or 'make more noise slider') sparingly and of course unsharp mask....but mainly on a brush rather than global, and just enough to make a difference. I've never used any PS adjustments more than 20%...on the basis that if it needs more adjustment, it was wrong in the camera. I've yet to translate this mantra onto Affinity's interface sliders.
