while working in Lightroom 2 the other day, I noticed a warning triangle in the sharpening option that tells me the results would only be visible at 1:1 view - which is true... at normal screen view the changes are unrecognisable, but at 1:1 they are there....
my question therefore is that given I mainly view my pics via Picasa3 Photo Viewer, when my processing is complete shoudl I export at a size that my monitor can display at 1:1, otherwise whats the point of sharpening as its not very visible?
currently i open lightroom, do my tweaks and export as a fullsize JPEG (12MB) and I dont need a 4000x3000 image for most purposes....
does that make sense? is it the correct thing to do?
