The petebridgwood articles on sharpening are out of date at this point. I'm convinced that updates to LR have rendered the recommendations to crank the detail slider to be poor advice. It might have been relevant and helpful a year or two ago, but it doesn't work that way now. I wasted two months following those guidelines after I bought my X-T2 because that was all that I could find as far as recommendations on sharpening in LR, his page shows up in many threads. Like I said, it might have been a great solution before, but LR updates have changed that. I'm favoring the Iridient X-Transformer solution using recommendations found here http://www.lightofisaac.com/Lifeofisaac/2017/January/January-31-2017. I actually have adjusted those recommendations where I use "smoother" instead of "more detailed" in Iridient X-Transformer, and I use a lower amount of sharpening and detail once I'm in Lightroom.

This was an excellent help for me. Thank you so much for suggesting turning off the Iridient sharpening and noise reduction. I am getting consistently better processing using your method thus far.

After using Lightroom and Capture One for several years, I have just purchased Silkypix 7 Pro and I'm having a wonderful time with it. Each day I learn something new about it that helps me understand it a little better. For my Fuji XT2 files it is very refreshing.
