Sharpening Your Photos

Sat Jun 27, 2009, 1:11 AM
Mrs. Blackbird

No matter how good your lenses are, your images will lose sharpness when the camera's sensor converts them to a digital file. Luckily, most digital cameras do some build-in sharpening automatically, which in many cases might be enough, but if your subject isn't perfectly focused, or you've used a too slow shutter speed, you might still end up with a soft image. Also when you resize your photos before uploading to dA and elsewhere, they will need a little additional sharpening. Images being prepared for printing usually need a more aggressive sharpening.

There are many ways to sharpen your images (without emphasizing the noise), and the purpose of this journal is to recommend a few expedient methods, which I've been using for quite some time. One is described in this tutorial by Sean T. McHugh: [link] Another one here by Thom Hogan: [link] Or you could use this free Professional Sharpening Toolkit from The Light's Right Studio: [link] Make sure to download and read the documentation before you start, so that you get the most out of it.

Happy shooting and processing :)
