Image sharpened with TLR Pro Output Sharpening Panel















I want to share a new (and free) output sharpening panel for Photoshop CS4. from the folks at The Light's Right
I highly recommend it to anyone who has Photoshop CS4. It integrates beautifully with the Photoshop interface so you can access it anytime just like any other Photoshop panel.
One feature I really like is that it not only has a great unsharp mask filter, but it also has a high pass filter to add an extra dimension of sharpening that is easily adjustable to your specific tastes.
It has a variety of presets available in 4 categories: web, injet, contone, and halftone.
Even if you don't currently have Photoshop CS4 I still recommend checking out the TLR website. It's an excellent resource for free photography tips, tutorials, links, forums, Photoshop actions, the list goes on.

Enjoy!

Best Regards,

I think I'm getting better at post-capture processing. This
image was shot in 2006, and I have re- processed it several
times since then. I often go back to images I have already
processed in Photoshop because I am always learning new
ways to improve on what I have already done.
One of the improvements I made to this image was made
possible by a new software program I discovered by reading
Tony Sweet's Photography Blog. The software is Topaz Adjust
I especially like 2 of the adjusment features, one is called adaptive exposure, the other is adaptive saturation. You use sliders to apply just a little adjusment, or a lot . I don't know exactly how it does what it does, but I have to say it has improved a lot of my work to a great degree. I highly recommend it!

Here is a website I just found that may be of some interest to those
who are new to digital photography and need a little assistance.
Digital Photography School It has a wealth of helpful free tutorials, tips,
camera reviews, ect. Check it out!

That's all I have for now.
Later on...
