photoshop Sharpen Filters

About a dozen years past, I engaged within the solely facelift of my life (so far!), LASIK. It corrected my way vision. however currently that my aging organ is as impliable as a bit of jerky, I need reading glasses. and there is not a factor Photoshop will do concerning it.

Photoshop is equally incapable of correcting a photograph that was captured or digitized out of focus. think about the subsequent examples. within the 1st, the image is simulated to be out of focus victimization Photoshop's powerful (but not prime 40) Lens Blur filter. within the second, I spread on a heaping serving to of the good Sharpen filter with very little proof of positive transformation, to not mention countless clipped highlights and shadows.

  Out Of focus (Sumulated)           Smart Sharpen 400/6.0

Compare that to the same image as it was actually captured by Jason Stitt of the Fotolia image library. With accurate focus at its disposal, the Smart Sharpen filter is capable of rendering tactile detail, even with a tiny Radius value (the number after the slash below).

   Optically in Focus                     Smart sharpen 200/0.2

The purpose, then, of Photoshop's Sharpen filters is not to invent detail where none exists, but rather to enhance the detail that is already there. You can correct for source imperfections, call attention to facial features, enhance elements for effect, or add impact for output. And Photoshop supplies three filters to meet your needs: Unsharp Mask (the old-school approach), Smart Sharpen (great for detail-intensive images), and High Pass (best for portraits). Apply any one of them to a smart object (Feature #18), and you have the most flexible approach available to Photoshop.

My hint last week was something of a giveaway. And not surprisingly, we had lots of correct or very close answers. And by lots, I mean hundreds. Chosen at random, this week's winner is Waterboy99 of Novato, California, who guessed "The Sharpen Filters," which was exactly right. Congratulations, Waterboy99!

Now it's time to guess Feature #4. Hint: This one-word feature encompasses all things in and out, up and down, back and forth. Keep an eye out for my newsletter in your email inbox.
