    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!

  • @villekansanen9053

    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.

  • @nittygritty7504
    @nittygritty7504 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    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?

    • @willsimpsonphoto
      @willsimpsonphoto  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      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

    • @willsimpsonphoto
      @willsimpsonphoto  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

      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.

    • @willsimpsonphoto

      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
