it is completely correct.Eric StevensnospamPeterNSavageduck
I have found that using high pass on the luminiscence layer in LAB tends to minimize halos.
Actually it is a good idea to do any/all/most sharpening on a luminosity layer, LAB or not.
not always, since the conversion to lab and back is not lossless.
Not strictly correct:

and back was a damage free process, that is, you would end up with the same color co-ordinates when you arrived back from Lab mode.
"RGB>LAB>RGB is damage free, but CMYK>LAB>CMYK is not. The damage isn't all that great, so in many images it pays to come out of CMYK so as to take advantage of LAB's strengths; sharpening, however, is not one of these cases. .... Dan Margulis"
RGB>LAB>RGB is damage free, but CMYK>LAB>CMYK is not.I disagree. If you start out with all of the same spaces for RGB and CMYK, and use only those spaces - then convert to and from Lab, you will get some quantization errors with both.
RGB>LAB>RGB is damage freeYou1re not serious are you Dan? Take an RGB file. Duplicate it. Do an RGB to LAB to RGB conversion and subtract the two. You can turn on or off the 8 bit dither. When you subtract the two and create a new document and look at the Histogram in Levels, you will see there certainly is data loss and a change. Move the sliders of the Levels Histogram over and you1ll see the effects of what differences between the two files you produced. Are you saying this isn1t data loss?
