From Aperture 3 to Photoshop CS5

[chris cornwell blog]

<p>My images are sharp when viewed on APERTURE. After a few tweeks, I export to Photoshop to add 'my style'. However, I notice that the images opened in Photoshop are not as sharp as the ones in Aperture. Same photo, different sharpness. I've tried exporting both: psd, tiffs versions. Is there something I'm doing or not doing when 'exporting'?<br>

Thanks!<br>

<p>What are you referring to here--the Raw file? If it is the raw file, then it might be a matter of where your sharpening default is set on Aperture vs ACR. That is most likely the difference. If it is when you open a file in CS5 itself, I have also seen this with images going from ACR to CS5, but it is very rare (only one I noticed this with so far) and I don't think it was CS5's fault, but the image might just be on that edge and when it leaves the raw state, just softens up.</p>

<p>I'm not sure what I'm viewing when I view it on APERTURE. I import all my NEW images directly into APERTURE. So, I assume I'm looking at the raw file. I tweek white balance, exposure, etc. there. I have not done any sharpening on any of the files. How do I check if there is a sharpening 'default'? </p>

<p>you really want to make sure you're viewing the image in Photoshop at 100% when evaluating sharpness.</p>
