How to Use the Sharpening Tool in Photoshop

[@CaliberDawn]

Omg please never delete these vids I always forget the steps and saving and rewatching these helps SO much!

OMG Aaron Nace!!! You do not know how many years I have been trying to get this type of sharpening into my life!! I always struggled with the way it always looked so pixilated that I gave up! You have once again saved me and given me knew hope to sharpen in post when necessary!! 😮🎉

About 15 years ago I was a moderator for a PS techniques forum. Back then using the High Pass filter for sharpening was a fairly new thing, but a controversy ensued that it was doing the EXACT same thing as the Unsharp Mask filter. Many members argued against this, however, subsequently, several advanced forum members proved unequivocally that this was, in fact, the case and therefore creating unnecessary steps in an otherwise simple adjustment.

Dude such a clutch tip especially considering how many tutorials there are on KZbin that claim to show you advanced/useful tips in Photoshop. - I’ve always been a fan of your older compositing work, where we get to experience your love of the craft. The blue beetle fashion edit, the running shoe, the hugging text. They were all done pre-ai and have an aesthetic quality that you rarely see anymore. But when you do, you don’t just want more, you want to know how to do it.

Thank you...! Good video... easy and effective!!! Saludos!!! 👍

[@vonnyrotten]

Really useful info! Just curious, is there a reason to desaturate before converting to smart object? Thanks!

[@yasirukanchana9211]

Love it ❤

[@JoseLopez-pw1im]

Great!

[@christinecowen7677]

Wow! Wow! Wow! I didn’t realize until this very awesome tutorial that I was using the wrong ‘sharpening tool’! High pass gets a high five…and High five for sharing this trick! Thanks! 🙏

Great video. It seems tailored made for a PS Action, being completely repetitive.

[@phlearn]

You can definitely make an action for it!

[@JorgeLausell]

Nice, thanks. I didn't follow the reasoning behind using multiple copies, each with different values of radius. I'm just putting together my computer station so won't try it myself for a few days. I'll see!

This past holiday season I took a lot of photos of Christmas lights, however I find a lot of them washed out in color. Is there a way to bring back the color and keep the vibrant glow? Love your teaching style, thanks!

@@phlearn Thank you, exactly what I am looking for

[@DanielLopez-l3c]

I really appreciate your efforts! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (mistake turkey blossom warfare blade until bachelor fall squeeze today flee guitar). How can I transfer them to Binance?

[@thewebstylist]

Great tips, just odd this technique has been around for years and surprised there’s no quicker better way Ai assisted these days

[@Delaunay23]

High Pass went the way of the dinosaurs because of the intense halo effect, as exhibited in this video. Smart Sharpen exists for a reason.

[@srg3798]

Great video. As you mature you are thankfully leaving behind the cringe inducing "trying too hard to be liked" approach. I do wish however, that you would more fully explain the early step of not wanting to sharpen the color. Desaturate firsts is not completely clear to me.
