I have this trick I use to make soft images look sharper,
so I've written a tutorial for it.

Yes - definitely COOL!! Thanks so much for sharing this. It's not something I've seen anywhere else. I like how you adapted it from your traditional retouching techniques.

It's like I mentioned to Doug - I think I invented this one. I don't remember anyone ever teaching it to me, and certainly not digitally. I could have possibly gotten it from a fellow traditional retoucher, but I've been using it so long that I honestly don't remember being taught to do it. It's so basic to my technique that I had almost forgotten I even do it, except today I went to do it and all of a sudden thought of writing a tut for it.Originally posted by jeaniesa

Great tutorial Jak. I've done something similar in the past just to give the appearance of sharpness when the unsharp or overlay weren't enough.

Interesting... I also worked sometimes this way... when images are too small and i had to blow them up to over 200% i traced the edges with a smear tool and then make them cleaner, especially eyes, mouth etc., doing the same you describe in your tutorial. Then after shrinking the image to 50%-70% and applying a sharpening filter, the results becomes cleaner as the original was with a bigger image size. - CyberartistComment

Dont mind... I also thought i had "invented" my odd colorization method, but some days ago i saw another one who did the same on the photo of Lisa / Challenge #12 in Photo Retouching.Comment

Making Images Look Sharper
One trick I found over the years is how to make a slightly fuzzy image LOOK like it's sharper. This doesn't always work as well as I hope, and for images that are downright blurry, there's really no help. But some soft images can be faux-sharpened. [details]Learn by teaching

Ok, I admit I'm a bigot. I can't stand any post that says: "hehe".
But I would like to change.
I think the first step in resolving prejudice is to try to understand your "enemy".
I'll need the help of the forum members if I'm to be successful.

Hello forum. I'm looking to make an digital image semi-tranparent. I want the look of the backlit images you see in advertising. I'll be using this on a webpage.
Also, does anyone know the process used to make real images like this? I've seen many and always wondered how they were...03-05-2004, 06:19 AM -
This tutorial focuses just on the blend-if sliders in Photoshop. I put this in the "The Basic" category because my goal was to write this tutorial clearly enough for all experience levels (and there is not an advanced category). [details]03-07-2004, 11:59 PM

Hello,
I haven't been over here lately as my family suffered a major personal loss a few weeks ago...and then, just when we were beginning to get on with life, the whole world went upside down.
Many thanks to Lorraine for letting me know what was happening over here at...09-19-2001, 05:26 PM -
Has anyone heard of a fairly ancient technique called Schafflining?
Its basically enhancing a mono image for press, and it sort of enhances lines and edges and really makes an images stand out in black and white press.
It used to be done by hand, but now there's a way to...08-15-2005, 07:46 AM
