You have to sharpen your pictures because most manufacturers use antialiasing filters in their camera. Only few don’t, for example Leica. Thus, their pictures are noticeably sharper.

Camera manufacturers put a filter over the sensor of digital cameras to control unwanted optical surprises. Forgive me if I can’t think of what the filter is called and what it controls.

A negative side effect of this filter is images that come out of the camera are a little soft. Therefore they need to be sharpened a bit.

A good tip for sharpening is, if you have adobe photoshop cs3, to turn the layer to be sharpened into a smart layer. That way you can use you sharpening method of choice and adjust the sharpening amount when you need to for output to a different resolution or device. This is non destructive and similar to an adjustment layer.

Hmm, good points, I hadn’t thought about it that way before about my DSLR.
