100% preview sharpness not matching output

Paul1121
Has anyone else noticed that the developed image is noticeably sharper that the 100% previews? Even with sharpening set at 0 there is a difference.

I can't even increase sharpening in CO to make the 100% preview match the output visually, almost as if there are actual details being lost in the preview.

Can you guys test this and see if you can duplicate. Simply process an image and pull it up in PS and compare it to the 100% preview in CO, see if it's not sharper, more detailed!

    I can't (on windows) - results are matching.

    For more information I'm getting these results on two different installs of CO4: one is a MacBook Pro running Leopard, the other is a Mac Pro running Leopard as well.

    Now that I know what to look for, the sharpness between 100% preview and output is DEFIANTLY not matching (output sharper).

    Results are matching here too on Mac, that is 100% preview CO4 matches that of PS.

    MacBookPro, OS X 10.4.11, raw from Leica M8, compared to 100% view in PS CS3

    So, could this be a CO4 / Leopard issue?

    I can confirm that on my Leopard MBP the sharpening is the same in both CO4 and processed file in CS3. Are you processing to jpeg or Tiff?

    Same results whether JPG or TIFF.

    Output looks same whether viewed in PS3 or other viewer.

    I have other people looking at this as well, 100% preview is definitely softer than output.

    Any suggestions, I don't see any settings that could affect this?

    This is a D3 issue.

    The problem is not there with my 5d or 1dsMKII files.

    I've created a support case and attached a D3 file.

    If any of you have a D3 file you can see the problem, 100%preview soft compared to output. Which is the correct D3 rendering, preview or output? I suspect output is correct, and the preview is blurred.
