High Pass Sharpening
Jan 7th
Here is a method for sharpening i learned some time back. It uses the ‘high pass’ filter in photoshop cs4.
Text Version:
1. Duplicate the original layer [ctrl + j] and change the blend mode of duplicated layer to ‘overlay’.
2. Right click on the new layer and choose ‘convert to smart object’.
3. Now go to the ‘filter’ menu and choose ‘high pass’ from ‘other’ sub menu.
4. Change the Radius slider until you find a sweet spot. It varies for everyone and every image.

1. Choose the image.
2. Duplicate the image into a new layer. [press ctrl + j]
3. Now you have to find out the brightest part of your image.
Here is a small technique to do that. Choose Image –> Adjustments –> Levels [or ctrl + L]
Push the mid tones [middle slider] to the right end. Now you can see the brightest part of your image. Just delete the adjustment layer.
