    I'm shooting the town for a project at work. They are going to print these as 11x14 and 16x20 enlargements on canvas. I rarely print big enlargements and never canvas. Won't have a chance to do test prints. Using Photoshop Elements what sharpening settings should I use for decent results? These photos will be of places and things - not people.

    Equipment used is the Pentax 645Z medium format camera with Pentax lenses. The printer is an Epson large format printer with integrated stand.
    Thanks,

    Try using unsharp mask and setting it to around 90-100. No more. But with a camera of that quality, you may not need to do much.

    I think using a good tripod will be pretty essential for this sort of camera, if you want maximum sharpness.

    My tripod shots with my D850 /Z8 have a biting sharpness, that I never get with hand held shots.
