"Real World PS" would imply something differently. Blatner & Fraser separate needs for sharpening into 2 separate phases ... early and late. A need for a early sharpening might be because the input device inherently softens the acquisition. Whereas the need for "late" sharpening is as a final step for countering some of the effects (such as resampling) you used during the editing. If Silverfast's sharpening is better is debateable, but you might assume it is a different algorithm especially adapted to scanners. shAf :o)
