    Nice little refresher. Sometimes I forget all the things I'm supposed to know, but its covered too deep in other things.

    When I was first starting, I sharpened the heck out of everything. I didn't understand that this is one of the most powerful effects in PS. Fortunately, I had people I trusted explain it to me--but how I wish I would have had a tutorial like this! And for those just beginning...all the sharpening in the world won't make an out of focus photo in focus :)

    Hi Colin. This was very helpful. I really liked how you used the mask to take some sharpening away from places you do not need it. I've been using LR basic sharpening slider. Can't wait to try this method. Thank you!

    Can't wait to try this. I have been getting a little discouraged lately because I see a lot of other photographers that are posting SUPER sharp photos and I'm just not really sure how they are doing it. But, I can tell it was an editing thing not necessarily a sharp raw photo. I'm gonna give this a try!

  • @vijaym2752
    @vijaym2752 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Colin. I understood the logic of hi-pass at overlay to carry on applying only texture of its own. However, am unclear of your masking NOT TO SHOW /remove the texture from hair (hence keep it to the entire image). I was assuming to enhance the texture at the hair and apparel and remove it from the scene. in nutshell invert mask to black and paint white to hair and apparel. Good if you can clarify as possible. Thanks.
