Settings to "Not Apply Sharpening" to images when working in Camera RAW

[Tom Kilroy]

The option to not apply sharpening to images when processing them in Camera Raw seems to have dissapeared in 10.1.0.163.  How does one stop Camera Raw from applying sharpening to images sent to Photoshop?

Tom,

What do you have this set to in ACR's Preferences?

Gary,

I now have the box checked and the same as you show Screen and Standard.

Hi Tom,

Not sure I'm understanding you: If the box is checked, you will get sharpening and that's what I thought you did not want. If unchecked, it will not sharpen. If this box is checked, it will sharpen.

Isn't this the option you were looking for?

Please let me know.

Gary,

Yes that's it.  Duh!  

Thanks.

Tom

I suppose if I don't check the box I'll get what I want?

No, the option for Preview-only sharpening has been removed in the latest update. Very stupid of Adobe. So now, all sharpening you apply carries over to Photoshop. There is no way to just have sharpening for preview purposes in ACR. I hope the engineering team restores this feature.

Actually with the settings described in this thread as reccomended by Gary you can still see the effect of sharpening in Bridge, it just doesn't get passed to Photoshop.
