Hi, 

Has anyone else experienced their picture un edited being sharper in PS than it is in LRC?

LR - Left  / PS- Right

Develop module in LrC or Library?

If develop have to gone to 100% zoom and then back again?

[#4]

This was in the develop module. Zoomed in to 100% in both PS and LRC

[#5]

At what magnification are you viewing the image?

To make a valid comparison, you have to view the image at 100% in both Lightroom and Photoshop.

This is especially important when evaluating sharpness and noise.

Any other view will be inaccurate and misleading because the image has been scaled.

This was zoomed ton100%in both LRC and PS on the same screen for comparison 

[#7]

The PS image has slightly higher contrast (brighter highlights), and it's a little hard to tell if it really is sharper, or if it's the higher contrast that makes it appear sharper.

If you turn off the GPU in LR or PS, or both, do you still see a difference?

LR: Edit > Preferences > Performance > Use Graphics Processor > Off

PS: Edit > Preferences > Performance > uncheck Use Graphics Processor

[#8]

What file type (raw or JPEG/TIFF)? How are you opening the file in PS (PS File Open, LrC Edit in PS, or LrC Export File opened in PS)?

[#9]

Importing the raw file from camera then exporting to PS through LR. An Adobe agent advised it was an issue with LR not being able to manage 16 but files. 

[#10]

Did you use Export or Edit in Photoshop?

Did you try to disable the GPU?

Lightroom (or Photoshop for that matter) has no problems with 16-bit files, so what the agent told you is not true.

Edit in PS, sorry not sure what GPU is.
