    This sharpening he is doing would that be considered captures sharpening? Or the sharpening that you would do before printing or uploading to smugmug?

    Everything you wanted to know about LR sharpening (and more):

    http://lightroom-news.com/index.php?s=sharpening

    This is Jeff Schewe's site, he helped design the capture sharpening (with the late Bruce Fraser) in LR 4.1 and CR 4.1.

    At this time, LR can only do capture sharpening.

    Could someone please educate me as to what the differences between the sharpening types are in LR?
    Deductively, capture sharpening would lead me to beleave it is done when the image is ingested. But I can make adjustments (or write changes) to images in LR after the import is complete.

    Thanks,

    This is sort of the genesis article for the sharpening types. I believe the book Real World Sharpening expands on the theory in detail.

    In Develop, you have capture sharpening as explained in the Fraser article. That's new in version 1.1.

    In the print module, you have a setting for sharpening, it is NOT output sharpening as described in Bruce's article. Its a very simply setting that doesn't take into account all the ideas of output centric sharpening Bruce describes. Hopefully you'll see that in the future.
