Getting tack sharp photos is a struggle for so many photographers. Understanding the proper fstop, right shutter speed, nailing the focus exactly to not get any soft edges, and making sure each one is done exactly right... that can be tough. Just because your image is soft doesn’t mean you didn’t get the focus right. Sometimes you just need a little extra sharpening in photoshop to spice your photo up a little.
In the video I show you a fast trick, and I mean in less than 5 seconds, how you can sharpen ANY photo you take, from portraits to landscapes and everything in between using blur. The more you blur, the sharper the photo is! Sounds weird, but this photoshop trick is so easy and simple!

Excellent. Straightforward, friendly, easy peasy lemon squeazy! Thank you for the action link 👍
You’re welcome :)
very well done Will!!!! You are now my go to guy for Photoshop tutorials
Wooot! Love to hear it 😄
Thank you so much. This helped me immensely. Tried different tutorials but it always didn't look natural. With yours it worked!
That’s awesome!
Thanks for sharing. Great video. Tried it and it worked great.
great!
Very cool trick! And a very nice tutorial to go with it! Thank you for the help!
thanks :)
This is great, thank you! I realized that if you do the gaussian blur after you've grouped the layers, you have much more control over how the sharpening looks on the finished image. You can even convert the "Vivid" layer to a smart object, so it's totally non-destructive.
yep!
I'm super glad you explained the part where you sharpened the effect a little too much! Haha, I got a excited too early! Thanks so much for the tutorial, it helped a lot!
ahhaha i totally get it. I get over excited all the time when i figure out a new edit.
precise and to the point tutorial….cmd cmd done wow…very helpful thank you
no problem :)
I love this video thank you! Is there a way to do this for just part of a photo? I have a group photo where most of the people are in focus and just one person is out of focus ruining the photo
@@jaysvlog9803 watch at the end how he showed the masking at end where you can do selected part
@@jaysvlog9803 shown near end of video how to mask it out.
Really Helpful Thank you Will.
awesome! You're welcome !
Found you by just browsing Photoshop tutorials. You got a new subscriber. Thanks for making them.
Love it! Glad to have you!
I did this on a moon shot instead of doing an unsharp mask or high pass filter. I like it. It is a subtle but effective change.
Thats awesome! Did you download the action i supplied and use it?
I love this video, I am so glad it lead me to your channel!
wooooot! Love that! welcome!
Awesome video, Thanks! Should this step be done as a last step? If I start by sharpening my image which layer should I do my retouching on?
generally i do my entire edit first and then add the sharpening as the finishing touch.
It is all I need, no more BS. Right to the point. 👍
Totally! 💪
Hello...thanks for this most excellent and easy-to-follow tutorial.
you're very welcome!
Love this
nice!
It worked. And it worked on an image that had blurry Japanese text. Thank you!
That’s awesome! Good to hear!
Hey Buddy, thank you so very much this tutorial and the download. Unfortunately, I didn't get Vivid Light Sharpening rather just Sharpen? Did I download the wrong file?
It’s the same thing I just made the name more simple.
Much better whay to sharpen, thank you. Question on the Action tab. I do not see the "exploring photography vivid light sharpening" Do I need to download anything?
Did you download and Install the action? The link is in description of video.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’m newly learning and currently editing photos from my cousins wedding. Do you take on jobs for edits? I’m extremely interested and would love to have you edit these, as I’m struggling with brining back the sharpness and light from the night photos.
Not really but rather than pay me, what if I do an editing tutorial for TH-cam on one of the photos that way you can duplicate what I do on the others? Shoot me an email: will@thewillsimpson.com
@@willsimpsonphoto thank you for your reply here, sorry that I didn't see it sooner. I would love this! Thank you so much! I will email you a few and you can pick which one you'd like. Thank you for being so awesome and for sharing your time! :)
Wtf - why did I not know this all these years?! super helpful!
lolol, theres so much in photoshop its hard to know everything, or even close to half lol
Thanks for the video. I am curious if the reason that blur sharpens this photo is bc you inverted the photo itself? So it’s kinda like Opposite Day, whatever you do, has the opposite effect?
Because of the inversion and the blending mode of Vivid light I believe the combination gives your that effect. Not really sure the true reason behind it but we will go with it! I do like this method over the high pass sharpening method.
could i ask a question please im learning how to photoshop and anything i can use is a bonus so to learn i have to watch things over an over while studying the process but why is it you shown the blur at the beginning of the part 5.01min but before you said the process after speaking about downloading it it was already unblurred so i did not see any action happen when you clicked the button please help me with more information as i really do want to learn thank you
you wont necessarily see the difference from viewing the photo as a whole. that's why i zoom in to show you whats occurring. The blur layer is can be adjusted to increase or decrease the amount of sharpening you want to apply.
Great trick. Thank you. But what is the difference between this and the Hight pass filter?
Similar techniques for similar results. There’s so many different ways to do similar things in photoshop
Thank you! but I'm not clear, how is this different (in terms of results) from using the high pass filter?
It’s similar but it’s just another method for sharpening. There’s multiple ways to do many things in photoshop. This is just another method. 😄
Awesome!! I had trouble with the action, tho. It stopped at the line Select layer "sharpen copy" after the Gaussian Blur.
Did you make sure that the layer you started the action with was named: sharpen
Thank you 😊 😁
No problem :)
thank you for this
you got it :)
can this action be used in Corel paint shop pro? Thank you.
I dont believe so but Im not familiar with that program
Nice video !
Thank you! Such an easy technique!
Can this be applied after frequency separation
yes, but might be overkill
Going to have a go now
You got this!
yes my man
Wooot!
Clicking the sharpening action link above takes you to a general web page that does not say anything about the Sharpening Action...?
when you click the link, it takes you to a page to put your email and name in. When you do that, you receive an email to opt in which once done, you will receive the sharpening action.
Thank sir
no problem
ok so i followed every step and as soon as i select overlay after grouping im left with a white canvass. my image doesn't seem to show just disappear
not sure. havent ever had that issue.
Challenge facing the Photoshop newbie: I face with an issue when running the script It pops up with an error The Command "Select" is not currently available with two button Continue or Stop. The issue may have something to do with the brushes to be loaded and used by the script. Thanks in advanced for any guidance...

I can' t have Vivid light sharping in description.. please can you send private
ill check
I downloaded the Sharpening Action, but unable to press Play on it (the Play button is disabled) Any suggestions? Thank you
make sure you're selecting the actual action and not the folder its in. the folder is named: Will Simpson - Sharpen. If you expand it, you will see "Sharpen" click that and make sure the photo layer is selected, not a mask or adjustment layer. You should be good to go.
How to add Exploring vivid light in shaping Action
Huh?
@@willsimpsonphoto sir I can't fine that Vuvid Light Sharping tool the one which I have downloaded doesn't contains
Mine doesn't turn grey when I select vivid light. It has different colors.
did you make sure to invert the layer before using "vivid light" blending mode? - "control + i" on mac
I clicked the link for the actions, but my system says thesite can't be reached....
Just checked. Worked fine on my end.
I just tried from my phone, and it worked. Must be something with my desktop.
Why when I do this, the colors in the photo gets washed?
thats really weird... im not sure.... I have never had that occur, do you do it on a new layer of everything below combined created at the top?
"CRTL Command I" doesnt seem to be working for me
To invert the mask? You can always right click on the mask and press invert.
It’s not working for me
why not use high pass filter rather than "invert, gaussian blur"?
You can. There’s multiple ways to do everything in photoshop. This is just another way 🤷♂️
@@willsimpsonphoto which one do you prefer and which one gives you better results?
@@ikbo im pretty happy with this method, its the method I use 99% of the time but I also have an auto action that does it instantly.
We don’t care why you missed an episode.
But now you know! 😅
I send blur photo can you remove blur from photo
Check out the app Pixelup
Can you remove blur from my photo
Check out the app Pixelup. You can’t fully handle blur but it might help make it usable
did this step by step and it just ended up looking the same :/
Maybe your photo is already super sharp then lol
Am I the only one who cant get it to work? Nothing is happening when I'm clicking control/command + i/f
I havent heard of anyone else having this issue. Are you making sure you have the photo layer itself selected when you are doing the command?
Tried everything. It just doesn't work; action is very different from what's shown in examples. Tried manual way, seems to make a bit of difference if I increase G Blur substantially. If this doesn't work I'll give up! Thanks anyway.
well thats no good. In order to use the action, you have to have a layer thats an actual photo, not adjustment later. rename that layer: sharpen (no caps). then apply the action to that layer. This should do it. The "read me" that comes with the action explains the use. Let me know if this works
