>>2959934From what I understand the output sharpening is to compensate for loss of sharpness caused by the JPEG compression.
>sharpening tools are for repairing purpose. e.g. if you missed focus or something different went wrong.Nonsense.
Sharpening is done to emphasize edges.
The amount of sharpening is an esthetic choice, but most people prefer at least some sharpening in the vast majority of pictures to make them "pop".
Focus and sharpness are two completely different things.
And even with perfect glass, a perfect sensor and perfect focus you can't always achieve a sharp edge because it just wasn't there.
