Thats not bokeh, that looks like a high magnification crop of a nearly in focus fine detail in a much larger image. BOKEH are LARGE way out of focus (not near focus) areas in an image, not that type of stuff which you probably wouldnt even see in a full size image, UNLIKE BAD BOKEH from a bad bokeh lens which I DID post at the beginning of the thread. UNSHARP mask at any reasonable normal usage setting has ZERO effect on large out of focus areas in a image. jco

This was shot with the 77mm/1.8 at f/5, and is an actual pixel crop from the file. The 77 is one of the lenses known to have very good bokeh, IIRC The top image is unsharpened, the lower one was successfully uglified using the unsharp mask tool. Interestingly, the in focus parts of the mage didn't look horribly oversharpened. http://users.accesscomm.ca/wrobb/temp/badbokeh.html Enjoy William Robb -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
