Terry, the sharpening in the masking is just a addon to the sharpening in the details panel. This means it just adds amount to the sharpening which is set in the main-details panel to accentuate parts of the image. In fact, you do the sharpening as usual in the details panel, but leave the amount slider to a smaller value than usual, the start masking of the main part of the image and add amount of sharpening just to the main part of the image which is selected by the masking.

Thanks for that clarification Robert.

Great video.... OBG

This was So useful. I always thought I should mask then sharpen but now I understand the opposite is better. I also learned the function of radius and masking in sharpening. Thanks so much for this really useful tutorial!

Thanks Ray!

I like your procedure Terry and it is pretty much the path that I follow. The thing I add and you did not discuss was the removal of noise. At what point in your editing do you remove the noise? I typically remove noise, if obvious, after the Basic panel adjustments and prior to sharpening.

I have learned to do my noise reduction last. But if all goes well, I'll do a video on Noise Reduction soon and why I do it last.

@@tv510 Thanks Terry......

Thanks Terry for this very interesting subject. I never quite understood how to use sharpening before, but I constantly had issues with denoising and sharpening (APS-C!!!) wildlife photographs. I know about noise in shadows and sharpness in the subject, so it is a pity that you can't use the Alt-key to fine tune while masking. I had better results using Topaz products (Denoise AI & Sharpen AI/Photo AI) anyway, but it's so easy to oversharpen, or having denoise in the way of sharpening without artifacts. What is your opinion here? Is it important to remove default sharpening prior to do cropping and 'Basic' changes? Then a Preset might help. To crop towards the center of the image, you should use the Alt key to save time and accuracy.

I also use Topaz for both sharpening and Denoise, but I do things a bit different. I plan to create a video on how I go about that soon. Thanks for watching.

These are nice refinements. I thought noise should be removed first so I will be interested in your video. Also, have you determined that this approach is equivalent to options available in PS, such as unsharp mask?

I am planning a comparison with the PS techniques, since I do most of my sharpening in Photoshop. Stay tuned and thanks for watching.

Terry thank you for taking my skills to a next level. Can you tell me when you would use the Denoise in your workflow? I have been making minor adjustments then using the AI denoise .... Thank you again.

Thank you Ravi.

Great video and some excellent comparisons. I also use the little square in the Detail panel and hover over part of the image that's important - such as the eye in your wood duck. It sometimes helps in getting the sliders set perfectly to one's liking. I also use Denoise AI before any processing so most of the noise is controlled before I start editing my images.

Thanks Terry. Do you see any instances where visiting PS and using, say Hi-Pass, provides any further benefits??

@tv510

4 күн бұрын

No, not further benefits. That was the "old school" way of sharpening. The the new processes are much easier and faster and I think better results.

Great thanks, I too wonder when and if you apply noise reduction?
