In this short video series I'll be explaining the various ways you can sharpen an image in Photoshop. Those ways include the Unsharp Mask, Smart Sharpen, and High Pass Sharpening. In this video, I explain the Smart Sharpen. I also explain how to use a Smart Object so you can readjust your sharpening.

Anthony - Great video. Looking forward to the rest of this series.

[@kaieteurcanada]

Well done mr phatagrapha...!

[@phooesnax]

Really very helpful. Thank You

[@joecolletti]

Thanks Anthony. It seems like they named this Smart Sharpen because you have to be fairly smart to use it well. Glad you're covering the whole range of options.

[@photonsonpixels]

Nice tutorial. Thank you.

[@johnkough]

Interesting. Question about the instructions at around 2:00: I understand that you can't do any sharpening if you have only an adjustment layer selected. But why not just select the background/pixel later and do sharpening on it (or a copy or smart object version of it)? Why the need to merge all layers or do the stamped layer if all your pixels are on one layer?

[@anniehuang4420]

Thank you as always. Smart sharpen vs High Pass Sharpen, which is better for sharpening wildlife?

[@HEATHERTITUS]

I wish you would have been clear in the beginning how to select a portion of the image to sharpen.

[@ralphwatson7036]

Good explanation of a confusing topic. I always enjoy your videos but I do find your computer speed a bit frustrating. A master trainer like yourself shouldn't be waiting for Photoshop. I'd definitely "buy you a coffee" to fund an upgrade.

how can i take it off? :/

[@Rythom_]

for some reason mine didn't show up where i could take it off with the eye?
