  1. I use the fade command all the time. Especially with different blend modes.

    Thanks for sharing Nicole!

  5. Nicole,

    Great video, as usual! What are the benefits of this approach to sharpening versus using unsharp mask? The ability to do localized sharpening?

  7. I prefer to use the High Pass filter when I do my sharpening, mostly just because I feel like I have more control over the effect when I do it that way. It can also give your photo a neat grungy look if you over-do it, which can be appealing for some subjects if done right.

    I don’t know all the technical stuff behind how the unsharp mask works in Photoshop, but from what I do know they basically work the same … they make the image appear sharper by increasing the contrast to the edges. BTW it is a little easier to understand (and basically the same process only in digital form) if you know how it is done in a wet darkroom.

  9. Thank you for the tutorials. :)
    I do this edit: I use ctrl+J (for PC) or cmd+J (for mac) to copy the layer, then I go to filter>other>high pass and I apply the filter. Then I can change the opacity of the layer. The efect is the same but your workflow looks quicker.
    Thanks. :)

  11. Yes, I do this a lot too, especially when I want to use a mask to only sharpen a specific part of the image, like the eyes.

    I was mostly trying to show how to use the fade filter in the tutorial, and thought I’d throw an extra tip as well, instead of just using a random filter I never use for the demonstration. :)
