Sharpening checkbox
« on: April 11, 2008, 10:12:56 AM »
Instead of having sharpening being a global preference, could you set a checkbox in image review to just preview sharpen pictures on a one by one basis.  That way, I wouldn't have to wait for the sharpening delay on pictures that are of no interest to me as I review them.

The amount of time spent in sharpening images is nearly indiscernible.  What you are seeing is likely the time it takes to load the images for presentation on screen.  We do not show the image and then later sharpen it.  You're seeing the best image we have at the time while the full resolution image is generated.  We don't sharpen that low resolution (thumbnail) image to make it into a preview.
