Never seen this before. I’ve got a few photos that aren’t as sharp as I wanted. Going to give this a try. Thank you for sharing. Also you are a very good instructor, you took your time making this easy to follow. Thanks again

[@officiallayrs]

Thank you kindly. I'm glad I could help. Once you use the technique, let me know how it turns out. Enjoy!

[@rickymundy8663]

Btw I meant to tell you THANK YOU for telling us the actions that you are doing. I follow along on my tablet while on my computer in Photoshop following your steps. By you communicating verbally I don’t have to pause your video to catch up with your commands. You take your time and communicate very very well. You are an excellent instructor. Others that share and help us should follow your techniques. Thank you again Ricky

I have used this on some photos that I haven’t used due to being little blurry. I don’t have a steady hand ! I was amazed how good they turned out. I have made this a saved action ! Thank you Mr LAYRS

[@officiallayrs]

That's great! Also, Actions are a good idea.

[@officiallayrs]

Your comments mean alot. Thank you kindly for that. Just the mere fact that the instructions are useful to you is a perfect way to start the day. Enjoy your Sunday and thanks for watching.

Yes, it does sharpen the image, but I think seeing a comparison between the High Pass Filter and actual sharpening filters would be useful.

[@officiallayrs]

Thanks Big Blue! Great idea, stay tuned. Cheers!!!

I will definitely give it a shot, and you are most welcome! Glad you found it useful.

Finally, I understand. Thanks for that but I have a question. Are you sharpening an image (so the settings would vary from one to another) or are you sharpening your camera's output (in which case should the same settings work for all frames)?

[@officiallayrs]

Hi there, great question. Yes, this is an image-to-image sharpening technique. Since each photo varies in brightness and contrast, normally I use this in post-production. Thanks for your input. Cheers!!!

Hey between unsharp method and high pass method, which would you say gives the best quality in sharpness? Thanks!

[@officiallayrs]

Hello there. Both sharpening techniques can yield similar results. However, I find myself choosing "High Pass" because it gives you more options to dial in a little better. In terms of workflow though, it's not uncommon to reach for the "Unsharp" technique, as it achieves the same or similar desired sharpening in fewer steps. Thanks for the question. Hope that helps.

@@officiallayrs Thanks!
