I have been reading about Nik Sharpener Pro for Ink Jet Printers. It seems like an awsome program. I downloaded a trial and will experiment tomorrow. I was wondering if anyone on NPN has been using it and if you are happy?
Thanks.

Just a few days ago read about it on Moose Peterson's website. Sounds interesting - I'd be interested in your answers as well.
I use it and love it! I Actually have the Bundle with Color FX Pro

I have been using Nik Sharpener Pro for a a couple of years but I now use PkSharpener. I think PK does a better job for digital images.

I've used NSP for several years in the Inkjet Autoscan mode for prints. I've found that fading the sharpening to 25% and then repeating it several times gives finer sharpening to details compared to just a single pass of the filter. Additionally, I often use an edge mask after several passes with NSP to give a little more sharpening to the edges. NSP also has an Internet Autoscan that I apply and then fade to 10% ten times successively for the images I post on NPN. These are all done with PS actions, so PS takes care of all the repetitive steps.

I have been using Nik Sharpener Pro for some time and love it. I find it provides a very high level of granularity and control over how much sharpening to apply. I have also been playing with Smart Sharpen, but still go back to Nik.
