Book Design and Imaging
Using nikSharpener Pro 3.0 what settingsI have searched for an answer to my question but cannot seem to find one. Is there anyone using this software for sharpening images prior to ordering a Blurb book? If, so then I would appreciate if they could tell me the best settings to use. I know it has been suggested that Blurb books are cheap and that I should just try a test book (which I will) but I do not want to waste my money if I can avoid it. Any help would be very much appreciated. Regards Colin

A search of the forums would have lead you both to this post, maybe the information you are after can be found here? There are quite a few other posts on this topic so spending some time searching the forums may provide some help. …..Tony |

Hi Colin, Straight from the horse’s mouth as it were …I posed the same question after a Nik webinar and the presenter spent some time with it . The settings are (with the output sharpener module) Output sharpening : Halftone Viewing distance : Auto Paper type :Coated Printer resolution: 175 LPI After that, if the spirit moves you , you can do your own "creative shapening" but don’t go beyond 100 % . Hope this helps ! Cheers, Dick

Hi I just received my book, 30X30 cm, printed on Pro pearl paper. I used the settings above but with a less sharpening of 70%. I did a pre sharpening in LR using the preset for faces (it was a wedding). NO sharpening in the camera! For the large prints in the book this works well. For the smaller ones i recommend to use no (after)sharpening but do presharpening the images. Hope this helpes |
