Oppose Oversharpened. While perhaps not as familiar as the signs of traditional sharpening overuse ("wormy" fine details, increased noise in smooth areas), the cues of an AI sharpening algorithm going overboard are equally discernible: artificial fine detail (e.g., breast feathers), artifacts in slightly out-of-focus areas (e.g., tail, foreground wing, branch), and masking halos in transitions (e.g., background wing). Charles, I understand your point that the "right" amount of sharpening is somewhat subjective, but I think there are objective reasons to err on the side of caution. An under-sharpened image can always be sharpened further by the user without requiring access to the original Raw file (some software even does this automatically e.g. printing applications), but an over-sharpened photograph is irrecoverable. --Julesvernex2 (talk) 10:08, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
