Software Review: nik Sharpener 2.0 By
Mike Pasini, The Imaging Resource (Monday, July 11, 2005 - 10:59 EDT)In the five years since we first reviewed nik Sharpener, the world of digital imaging has evolved significantly. And Sharpener's latest release catches up by providing a Raw Presharpening filter and 16-bit mode.
It goes a good bit further, however, by incorporating Sharpener Selective, which lets you apply its sharpening filters to your image by (drum roll) brushing them on with your image editing application's brushes.
