How to sharpen in Photoshop
Sharpen in photoshop
Like most things in Photoshop there are a number of techniques for sharpening an image. But when to use them and how? The two methods I use are listed below with some very nice and concise tutorials to go with them. The first one is the good old unsharpen mask filter. The tutorial has some good tips on how to apply this so its worth a read even if you have used this technique lots. The second tutorial is the high pass filter something I use for landscape shots and images with a lot of detail and something worth trying out yourself if you have not already. › Continue reading
Links Section Grow
The web is an amazing and growing resource for information, how to’s and tutorials on almost any subject, including all things photography. Sometimes it simply provides inspiration from other photographers’ work from sites such as Flickr and Redbubble.
We would love to grow our website into a fantastic resource directory. The best places on the net for tutorials, how to’s, fantastic work, etc. Making the links section of the site a real asset.
To do this we need you to send in the articles and links that you discover on the net. You can do this via the Contact Us page. You could even write up a quick blurb about the link and this could be posted on the site News section, letting people know there is a great new resource that you have found.
I have added a really good one on HDR to get us started
Digital Monochrome by Peter Marin
Peter Marin gave us a very informative presentation on digital balck and white last night. He sent us the following note:
Hi Guys,
Thanks for having me in to speak, I was really happy with everyone’s attitude and interest on the night.
I thought I’d take the opportunity to share a link you may want to put up on your club site for others to have access to.
Here it is, tutorials.htm
I think the members will find it a useful resource.
