The Ultimate Sharpening Method (using Photoshop)

I have this as an action! But I set my duplicate layer to linear light before applying the high pass, this way I can gauge the amount more effectively.

what's the resolution of that monitor? 640×480? 🙂

Cool! I've been using the Unshap Mask and find that I have less visible noise, but I like the intensity of this method for certain photos (especially photos with low ISO). Nice short review.

Thanks Chelsea

can u plz say the model no of the lg monitor please? ??? i wana buy it,please. …

I think it would be good to at least mention that there are several ways to sharpen photos in photoshop and lightroom, and note why you are using this method compared to the others.

Smart sharpen is the best sharpning tool in photoshop.

I also use "Overlay" for my Sports Car Pictures.
For most of my pictures I then apply "Focus by Defocus", a unique photo processing that emphasize the main subject by defocusing with effects or blur distracting picture elements or people for the viewers' entertainment purposes.

Great tutorial. Nice job!

Why not just use camera raw during import? The sharpening tools are the same as Lightrooms?!

One of the best presentations I have seen.
Great graphics and clarity.
Helpful hints: Most viewers are new to Photoshop
Enlarge your curser/pointer.
Pause over the panel selections.
Rabbit and turtle-speed isn’t always the answer.

The name of this technique is "Dragan effect" (Andrzej Drangan). Really useful for hair and wrinkles !

How is this different from using sharpening on lightroom? 😀
Thanks! <3

Thank you, Chelsea, you held the answer to one of my photos.

thank you for the video

Very nice, Chelsea, absolutely wicked, short and sweet and straight to the point and most helpful. Sincerest apologies about the previous comment about gradient, didn't mean to sound unkind.

Thank You! Very Important 🙂

It is better to desaturate the high pass layer completely to avoid colorfringing!

I love this method.. first time trying it!! Loved the video as well!! Short, to the point, and it worked when I tried it!! Thank you.. will subscribe!

wow….thanks so much for this tutorial. I had always struggled with noise while sharpening, and who knew using masks would help with cutting down on the noise. I have ordered your books and can't wait to learn all the hidden tools and tricks in Photoshop. Cheers.

"But Chelsea that looks terrible" that's literally Tony in your head hahaha LOL
Excellent tutorial anyway. Cheers!

Cute performance 🙂
