At this stage, we are going to simply bring back the sharpness to the Raw file.
Once we have our image prepped and ready to sharpen in Lightroom, we can navigate to the Detail panel and implement Input Sharpening. I will be working strictly in Lightroom and ON to demonstrate a complete Raw workflow.

Knowing when and how to get the most out of sharpening is where I am going to focus in this article. There are different processes and programs we can use to sharpen our images. That’s where editing programs can save the image and bring back the sharpness you intended to capture. Even with full-frame digital cameras and the best glass, there is a chance for failure.
The biggest fear when shooting is losing the peak focus on the subject’s eye and having an unusable image because you shot them at such a thin aperture. This is only the first step in the process as we ingest our Raw images to see how sharp the subject is. In an image where removing the person from the frame would give you an amazing landscape, you have to push your technical skills to keep the focus on the portrait. Many of us consider shooting wide open to draw the viewer immediately to the main subject, typically the person standing in the field, so to speak. We look for the eye of the subject, dial in the exposure settings and fire away. When photographing people in a landscape, it is so important to push the limits of your lens to capture detail.
