Ross,

Congratulations on the outstanding job of sharpening the
photos.  I am using the Nikon 900s, and it suffers from
the typical "fuzzy edges" also, no matter what format you
use to save the photos.  I commented yesterday to one of
my friends that it should be possible to write an algorithm
to do exactly what yours does.  If you use one of the stan-
dard software packages to reduce the size of the image,
do you have to "re-sharpen" it or does it remain as clean
as the larger image?

Cheers,



Don
