Posts: 73 | Sharpening a Photo
Does any one out there have any suggestions on sharpening tools. Seems when I sharpen my photo it comes out to sharp. Is there a editing program better than the other to do this. Help!

Sharpening is a blunt tool, makes grains all the time, I placed the list of free programs earlier, I think the last on the list is with sofisticated sharpening tool, but let's talk why you are sharpening them. If focus is good and light is not all goofy, you usually do not need to sharpen the picture, Usually feling of not so sharpen, going from too intencive colors and (or) from low color temperature, when red color masks all the structure and makes red-green separation very low. The recepe is to go low on red and up on blue, or keep you color temperature high on you camera, or go down on colors (fade them 10-20%). Also, if your redactor has this - go down on black in white tone - gives you more black-white separation without high contrast. Blue and (or) polarizer filter makes the picture look more contrast and sharp, select border as a layer, make it B&W and high contrast and superimpose it on the picture - could make a big difference etc. I actually never saw a good sharpening tool that make not sharp picture sharp, it could be used for effects, or exacerbation of something, but if not sharp - as in humans - will remains not sharp. | | | [1] | |
