Trade Tricks: Sharpening The Right Way Unsharp mask can work magic—if you just don’t overdo it
|
|
By Mike Stensvold, Photography by Mike Stensvold
|
 Sharpening is an important step in the image-editing process. While it
won’t make an out-of-focus image (or an image blurred by camera or
subject motion) sharp, sharpening will increase the contrast between
light and dark pixels at edges in the image, which makes the image
appear sharper. Digital imaging provides lots of useful tools, but you
still have to focus accurately and hold the camera steady when shooting.

Jumpstart Layers Gain more power and control in photoshop by mastering layers
|
|
By Rob Sheppard, Photography by Rob Sheppard
|
 The use of Layers is consistently the most feared part of Photoshop.
I’ve had photographers tell me that they just can’t deal with Layers,
and I know very good photographers who do excellent Photoshop work, but
still believe they “aren’t ready for Layers,” or “don’t really need
Layers” or even “just can’t do Layers.”

Double-Process RAW For Better Tonality Don't try to do it all in one step. Use the power of RAW to process two separate images optimized for different tonalities.
|
|
By Lewis Kemper
|
 One problem photographers have always faced is the fact that no medium
yet invented can capture the tonal range our eyes can see. Film can’t
get close to recording the brightness range of light that the human eye
can perceive. This holds true for digital sensors as well. While some
high-end sensors can record more tonal information than film, they
still can’t record all the tonal variations the eye can see.
