I'm in a quandary over scanning with USM or not as we prepare to jump into
the world of RGB. We've scanned CMYK with our drum scanners forever, and
have always applied USM during the scan. The scanner delivers excellent
sharpness; much better than any digital sharpening that I've seen in
Photoshop or other utility. However, I've been told that RGB scanning
should be done with USM off, for better file repurposing down the road. If
that's the case, what software is best for applying sharpening, and can it
be done in a batch/server mode? Is this what most RGB shops are doing?
Thank you!
