Comprehensive Collection of Sharpening Actions

[gmitchel]

The TLR Professional Sharpening Action Sets is the latest sharpening tool set from The Light's Right. It is not just one action set but a whole collection of Photoshop CS3/CS4 action sets for applying the multipass sharpening technique.

There are five different capture sharpening action sets, tuned for different categories of digital cameras and film scans. Four different mask widths are available for edge and surface masks.

There are ten different creative sharpening actions. Five general purpose creative sharpeners are also tuned for different categories of digital cameras and film scans. Then there are also capture sharpeners for landscapes, portraits, and textures. A blur action is included to make it easy to reduce sharpening selectively, which will make other features appear sharper. Finally, there is a clarity enhancement action, too.

Four different action sets are tuned for different output devices/media. There are action sets for halftone presses, contone printers, inkjet printers, and for Web/multimedia. There are separate actions for commonly used resolutions, paper types (such as matte or glossy), and other printing parameters.

The sharpening effects are easily modified.

I cut a 15 minute video that shows how to modify the sharpening effects with all of the TLR tools, including the new TLR Professional Sharpening Actions.

I posted an update today to 1.0b. It fixes an issue with the TLR Creative Blur action, where it looked for a Blend If settings action in a previous action set.
