Originally posted by BarryE I've started working in ACR using ProPhoto and 16-bit, then opening in PS.
The printer I'm using accepts Adobe 1998 and 8-bit files. So in PS I convert the profile to 1998 and then proof the image using their supplied profile.
When the image is ready to do the final sharpening (I've done an input sharpening in ACR) is it better that the final sharpening is done before the 16-bit to 8-bit conversion or after ?
Any advice, please.
Thanks
Doing it before conversation is better because it done more accurately (on 16 bit) and then rounded. So you didn't sharpend the rounding noise. But I doubt you can notice the difference.
