This post is about editing NEFs in Nikon Capture and sharpening.

Nikon Capture honors the camera's sharpening setting from NEF files. It seems that the D200 can use a bit more sharpening than the D70's NEF files. It just got me thinking:

What is the difference between the RAW-section's "Sharpening" setting and the old fashioned "USM"? What does "Sharpening" do exactly?

Thanks!
I can't grasp the notion of time.

When I hear the earth will melt into the sun,
in two billion years,
all I can think is:
    "Will that be on a Monday?"
