Pro tip: convert your second layer to B&W before applying high pass filter, that way you avoid color halos around the contrasty edges. You'll still get luminance halos, but they are much less noticeable, so you can either get away with higher radius, or get better looking result with the same radius.

@@edoschena6279 I usually just use "Black & White" tool (Image -> Adjustments -> Black & White or Ctrl-Alt-Shift-B/Cmd-Option-Shift-B) with default settings, that works most of the time (I'm sure you can tweak the settings for best results, but that would have minor effect really). Blending mode is the same Overlay. It basically acts like a blend of Multiply and Screen, darkening the underlying layer where the top layer is dark, brightening were it's light and doing nothing where it's middle gray (that's why it is important to keep most of the layer gray when choosing the radius, showing something only in the areas that you actually want to sharpen). Initial colors are preserved automatically. You can also play with other blending modes from that group (Hard/Soft/Linear/Vivid/Pin Light) - I sometimes use Soft Light for more subtle effect.

If you don't want photoshop to add or remove pixels, you can deactivate "resample". In That way you can change image dimensions without pixels being added or removed. The PPI will adjust according to dimensions you choose.

I've been around and back again with monitor calibration and printing, and there are a couple of things I've learned. One, adjusting display brightness for print can improve your overall photo processing workflow. Reason being, monitors set to their default brightness (as you mentioned) to super-high levels which can cause unrealistic luminosity in blacks and shadows. Edited photos can then turn out darker than you may intend. Calibrating my display didn't change color all that much, but it had a huge impact on brightness and changed how I approach photo processing. Two, if you're using a Mac and need to set brightness to 120/cdm as part of the calibration process, the standard increment of +/- brightness on the keyboard is too large. You can use smaller increments by holding down Shift-Option when using the brightness keys. That will help you get very close to 120/cdm.

Doing professional retouching for years and I find the emboss filter sharpening way better than the high pass due to the halos/hdr feel of the later. Technique is the same, copy the flattened image and apply the emboss. Use a low pixel height (1 or 2). Desaturate the embossed layer completely to remove fringe-like effects and then set it to overlay. Play with global lighting when applying the emboss filter for slightly different look, i usually match the light source of the image. If you find the effect too much, lower it’s opacity. Cheers

Great points on your printing workflow. With regards to the image size dialogue box in PS - you need to turn off “resample” as it’s going to be throwing away or adding pixels of its bigger. Its best to let the PPI go where it wants to go, within your parameters of fine detail/print size/viewing distance parameters. Turning interpolation option OFF means you won’t need to worry about PS adding or throwing away pixels. Your original image resolution stays the same and all you have to think about is the image size you want to print at and let the PPI go where it wants to go.

I printed all my photos thru Photoshop for many many years. When I finally made myself learn Lightroom I was especially slow learning to use the print module. When I finally nailed it I would never go back to printing thru PS. Simplicity of use printing thru LR is just so much simpler and my printed results are as high a quality as I have ever achieved. Never need to set resolution as it's always optimal. That said my workflow generally runs a finished file thru PS for sharpening, save the file (which was opened inside LR), then go back to LR and take the file into LR to print it.

Just have been using qimage to automatically take care of all these issues of upsampling and print sharpening. Made many comparisons and it always looks best. Just an impressed and happy user.

If you only get an image size of 3700 x 2700 px from a medium format picture you must use a very low resolution when scanning (like 1280 ppi). Even a simple flatbed scanner can easily do 2600 ppi (I mean real resolution, not those phantastic numbers of the manufacturers), giving you enough pixels to print large without rescaling.

Better video headline would be "Printing Workflow - How I prepare my films for digital prints". When seeing the original headline first, I assumed it would cover darkroom printing from negatives. Great tutorial though regarding the film/digital printing workflow! Just to mention that the values you change in PS on your screen are very hard to read in the video's resolution. You also need to have the latest PS version to find the same options (for example high pass filter) - CS6 doesn't have them.

AdobeRGB or sRGB if I deliver files to a client who maby Is going to print at some lab or at home. I know some lab doesn't print AdobeRGB and when sharpening for print shall I zoom In 100% on a portrait or look at the whole image. If it's a full body portrait.. and It looks way oversharpened att 100% but looks nice at about 25-30% ? Will the print look like that or oversharp like the 100% zoom?

I have always used a simple guide for sizing images for either internet viewing or prints.if the image will be view exclusively online, I never bother to take the file resolution above 72 dpi. Anymore and people’s monitors will be unable tell the difference. For printing, I stick to 300 dpi. I simply use PS and set my dimensions to those I want for the real ultimate print size, say 16 by 20, and use a resolution of 300 dpi. Again, my printers are unable of exploiting any more resolution than that. Does this make sense? When I scan with my Nikon 8000ED I routinely scan at the max of 4000 dpi so that I have a massive file to do very detailed clean up prior to saving and then sizing for either printing or internet usage.

For step one, why don’t you just uncheck the resize option? You can fill in the desired print size and PS will automatically calculate the DPI for you, so you can tell right away if the file is large enough. Works the other way around too, fill in the DPI so you can automatically see the maximum print size you could get at that specific DPI.

I just posted a recent video between an Epson and a Nikon for 120 film if you’re interested.

Sorry to have correct you on monitor calibration and profiling.....but during the measurement of the display, there’s no comparison against “set standards” (common misconception). The colorimeter (i1Dispaly) or spectrophotometer (i1Pro 1, 2 or 3) is simply recording the display’s response to various RGB input values (DeviceRGB in color management terms). The record of the display’s output of these RGB values can be spectral, L*a*b* or XYZ...it’s simply a measurement. This is then rolled into the making of the display’s ICC profile. Once this is set as your display profile in your system, it’s then used by color management-aware apps like Photoshop and Lightroom to properly correct the display’s output to your RGB “working space” profile such as sRGB, Adobe RGB and others (Lightroom uses “Melissa RGB” as its internal RGB color space for RAW or DNG files). Monitor CALIBRATION is something else....done prior to profiling. Display calibration is typically the setting of a display’s luminance, color temperature, gamma and black point. This can be set manually or automatically under the control of the calibration software, depending on the display. (My apologies for the long answer!).

Hi Kyle, I have a question regarding the initial scanning of your negative for printing. I was wondering what resolution you look to get your negatives scanned in at? I saw that you replied in someone else's thread about getting them scanned in at the lab in Tiff format but would hope that some of my home scanning would be good enough. I have been scanning at home with an Epson v600 which is supposedly rated at its optimal resolution around the 1600-2400 mark. I would love to do some larger prints eventually with some of my 120 negatives but am a bit cautious about how they would come out with my current scanning set up.

All sorts of different ones. The Find Lab in the US. Downtown Camera in Canada. Silver Pan Film Lab in the UK.

Your comments on resolution are not quite right. The default resolution setting can be adjusted in PS and should be so it matches the resolution of your printer. I don’t know what the resolution of Canon printers is but a quick Google search says 600 ppi. That means that your printer will resize your image up from 240 or whatever you set to 600. Maybe it does a great job. Maybe not. On Epsons the default is 360 and it can also print at 720. I never leave it to my printer to do the resizing.

Hi Kyle. This Not related to this video. I have a question about My Mamiya RB67 PRO SD that perhaps you can help me with. I tried using my newly purchased Camera today and am having problems.

I can focus on subjects about 5 feet away but when I continue to turn the focus ring and extend the bellows outwards the further away images Just gets blurrier and will not focus on anything. Am I right in thinking that the further the bellows goes out the further objects will be focused and vice versa with the closer objects, they will be focused when the bellows are in closer to camera body. Your advice is very much appreciated. Thanks

@KyleMcDougall

Yes, still a good idea.

Kyle, I would actually recommend resampling within Photoshop if it is needed. The reason being is that if you send a file to your Canon printer at anything less than the printer's native 300ppi resolution (360ppi is native for Epson, weirdly these figures are not very well published!), say 240ppi, the printer will actually take over and resample the file up to 300ppi anyway. Photoshop has much stronger algorithms for handling resizing of files; you also get a preview on your screen of what it is going to look like; and lastly you avoid any sharpening issues the printer driver might introduce. :) (Note that the 300ppi is different to the 1440dpi your printer might use to print images as pixels don't equal dots, multiple dots of various colours next to each other make up a single printed 'pixel'.)

@CornishMotorcycleDiaries
