[filmscanners] Re: another Sharpening question

Well, if you insist then the answer is no.

But I could have, if you allowed me to ;-) to make an argument
otherwise.  In general (I'm assuming these were captured with a CCD
sensor) some unsharp masking benefits the image.  However, you're the
ones with the images, you know the application, and you can best test
the results to see if the benefits justify the time and energy.
