Some of my photos go to a lovely local newspaper for their sports and social stories, and for the most part they’ll be printed in B+W, seldom more than 4 x 4" and usually cropped from that.
I usually export from CSI and convert to grayscale while downsizing using Bicubic sharper. Sharpening is hit or miss, and generally I don’t unless the pic seems to really need it. Levels are also not always consistent, and they may get changed anyway by the production guy at the paper.
Is there a suggested level of sharpening for, say, 1200 x 1200 pixel images that’ll be used in a typical local newspaper in grayscale? Or a nice workflow I could convert to an action in PS? I am also using Lightroom.
