How can i add structure sharpening to a photo? Nik plugins like silver efex , or viveza 2 have a structure feature, they add sharpening to a photos and contrast and amplify micro details. I tried to do it in Photoshop with high pass but i was not able .
View 3 RepliesI have this great photo of me and my boyfriend, I've already cropped and changed the color levels (its a bit washed out now, but it was WAY too dark and red earlier)
seanissocute.jpg - Image - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
the photo is a bit blurry, but the sharpen filters do NOTHING. And when I try to sharpen only certain sections it gets too grainy.
Suddenly, as in this never happened before, I can't copy and convert my .cr2 files from my camera into my Lightroom catalog. It says that the file type is not recognized. I restarted with no change, then downloaded the 4.4 update and it still doesn't work. Here is the name of one of the files I want to import. _mg_8765.cr2
I'm on Creatie Cloud and have an older Macbook Pro running ios 10.8.3.
How can I find out what type of sharpening, if any, was used when a photo was exported from Lightroom 4? I have a photo with a watermark that is slightly different from the original but I am not sure what type of sharpening was used when the photo was exported.

The structure list shows sizes we do not use and we would like to modify them. However, when we try to select the "Inner Diameter" it displays a list of sizes that we can not seem to modify or add to.
I have looked at some of the XML files to try and modify or add new sizes (example: AeccStructConcentricCylinder_Metric.xml) , but they do not seem to be recognized even after I restart the program.
Here is what the file looks like:
<ColumnConstList desc="Inner Structure Diameter" dataType="float" unit="mm" name="SID" id="CCL1" visible="1" context="StructInnerDiameter" index="0">
<Item id="i0">1200.0000</Item>
<Item id="i1">1350.0000</Item>
<Item id="i2">1500.0000</Item>
<Item id="i3">1800.0000</Item>
<Item id="i4">2050.0000</Item>
<Item id="i5">2300.0000</Item>
<Item id="i6">2550.0000</Item>
I tried modifying the last line replacing 2550 with 3600.
I also tried adding a line <Item id="i7">3600.0000</Item>
I saved the XML file and restarted the program with nothing changing that I can see.
Looking for correct file(s) to edit so I can modify the LISTS that come up in the piping modules.
One good thing about null structures is the way they display in 3D. They cover that gap in the pipe segments. Can I steal that shape?
I am currently using a simple cylinder for water pipe "joints" and turning it off like most people do I think.
I have drawn a pipe network with multiple concentric sturctures. I need to make them all eccentric now. Is there an easy quick way to do this, or do I have to redraw all of them. When I go to the properties, I cannot find an option that allows me to change this.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am pretty new to Photoshop but learning fast. This is my first post so if it should have been in Beginner's section please let me know. My question is, is there real value in the Sharpener Pro or Photokit Sharpener plugins over using the CS2 unsharp. I am currently converting RAW files to LAB and sharpening the image on the L channel then returning the image to sRGB.

way to sharpen the subject up?
My last step in processing is sharpening. After the application the photo does not look like it was sharpened. If I use my zoom button up one level than the photo is sharp. When I run slideshow in Bridge this lack of sharpening also appears here.

I still get the four channels - Lab, Lightness, a and b but the lab channel is black instead of the usual full colour image, anyone had this happen to them?

Most of them are simply coloured boxes with text in them. Ive used anti aliasing and unsharpen mask on the images just before i save them but they're not as sharp as id like them to be, or as sharp as i have seen web grpahics before.
way of getting these graphics sharper?
how to achieve this look, particularly on the color and sharpening technique.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI normally use Unsharp Mask, Amount: 100 / Radius: .5 / Threshold: 0 -- followed by Fade with Luminosity Mode. Recently I've started experimenting with the Hi Pass Filter. There seems to be many different tutorials on sharpening, each one's method slightly different. I'd be interested in other user's favorite methods and why.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using two Mac computers, both with PS CS5 12.0.4, ACR 6.6.0, and OS x10.6.8. On one computer, PS and ACR work fine. On the other, I have the following problem:
When I apply Sharpening in the ACR Detail panel, setting all the sliders, then open the image in PS as a smart object, the sharpening has not taken effect on the image in PS. When I re-open the image in ACR, I find that the Amount slider in the Sharpening panel has re-set itself to zero. The other sliders in the panel are still where I had set them.
However, the output sharpening in the ACR Workflow Options area does take effect in PS, and appears to be working fine. I just re-installed everything, but no improvement. As I said, it all works on the other computer, so I have a reference for what PS should do.
how Photoshop CC's Smart Sharpening differs from Lightroom (and ACR's) sharpening in the Detail panel? Do they approach sharpening differently? Is one more powerful than the other, and if so, in what way? Are there particular circumstances under which you find it worthwhile to use SS rather than stay with LR/ACR? (I do see that SS allows one to control the effect in highlights and shadows.)
I have generally been sticking with LR sharpening, but want to be able to answer these questions intelligently (and be aware of circumstances where I should take the time to open PS and use SS).
I mod this old game and the textures are low res, they are alright on characters but the weapons get all fuzzed and horrible, it looks like nothing has changed from when they were low res.
i am doubling the size here. possibly tripling if the game will allow it. but they don't seem to really make a difference even when i try to smooth them out or sharpen them up. I use High pass and maximum, and then put them both on soft light over the original texture, before merging them and using unsharp mask.
How to make them look better when i'm doubling the size. using JUST photoshop, i can't afford all the fancy plugins at the moment.
here's a visual example for you:
Low Res:
ScreenShot8.bmp
High Res:
ScreenShot1.bmp
there's virtually no change. fix this little problem Vbulletin has with.bmp files?
I have an image that's good quality when small. I want to enlarge the image, however, when I do so, it becomes all pixelated and poor quality. Is it possible to enlarge the image so its still good quality.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have CS6 with the most recent updates and RAW 7.1.
First: When I crop an image (I am using the new crop tool), and I make sure I have cropped it (hit enter after adjusting the box), if I then try to use the Lens Correction filter, it will not load the cropped version of the image but only the uncropped version. (CS5 did NOT do this). This makes using the Vignetting tool impossible to use, since when the image gets sent back to the main PS window, it shows up as cropped again, and the area corrected is out of range! The only way I can now use the tool is to save the cropped image to a new file and then open it up in a new PS window and THEN edit it with the lens correction filter.
Second: When I was trying to open and process some RAW files today, whenever I used the sharpening tool, it would preview just fine on the RAW window, but when I opened the file after finishing my adjustments, all of the adjustments would still be there EXCEPT the sharpening and NR ones. It did not matter if I saved the image to different file types, or opened it directly; the adjustments made with that set of tools were lost outside of the RAW window. This is definitely not the way CS5 worked.....and it seems like a bug.
Third: I know this is not a bug, how to change what the files do, since I can't find where to set this. When I open a JPG file, if I do any work to it at all, it then automatically gets saved as a PSD file unless I select JPG from the pulldown menu. How in the world can I get this pulldown to NOT automatically go to PSD when I am working with JPGs? It is an extra step that just gets in my way.
I have a Window Vista64 Intel Core2Quad CPU Q7600 processor machine with 6GB RAM and a Nvidia GeForce GT 430, with the latest updates.
Output sharpening in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and Photoshop CS5 I want to do two-pass sharpening - capture and output - with output capture done just before I print. I do the initial (capture) sharpening in the ACR Detail/Sharpening panel, with Amount slider set to, for example, 100. Then, I open the image to PS CS5 as a Smart Object, and use layers and masks for further editting.
My question is, can I go back to ACR for the final (output) sharpening pass? When I re-open the file in ACR, the Sharpening Amount slider is back to zero, but the other three sliders are still at the settings I used at the start of the process, i.e., the capture sharpening. If I again set the Amount slider to a positive value, then again open the image in PS for printing, will my second pass through the ACR Sharpening panel take effect - will it accumulate on top of the initial sharpening?
By the way, the reason I want do output sharpening in ACR rather than, say, PS Unsharp Mask, is so I can use the Masking slider in ACR, which is much easier than the comparable techniques available in PS. I am aware that some say you should not do any masking for the output sharpening. I'd like to though.
Since I started using Lightroom and Photoshop I've always wanted to know how I can make a photo look like it does when I press alt and adjust the sharpening mask slider in Lightroom. Here's an example of what I mean:
And here's the photo while pressing alt and moving the Mask slider:This effect is just a tool to show you where the mask is being applied but I think it's a cool effect and I have a project in mind where I want to make a set of photos look this way. It must be possible in photoshop but I'm not quite sure how to do to. I've tried using a high-pass filter, converting to B&W, and inverting the colours but it not quite the same thing; it obviously tends to just look like an inverted B&W. These images however look more like those pictures you made when you were a kid by covering waxed paper with black crayon and then scratching it off in places to make an image.
I am working on the logo for my company's website. Heres my prob. at 100% this image is fine, but every time I resize (smaller) I end up with pixelation / fuzz on a couple letters (Particularly the P).
This is my original, click it because otherwise the "dot" is pixelated.
This is my resize:
How can I go about sharpening up the smaller images so the text entities look as good as the big image? Is there some trick to resizing that I dont know? I feel stupid asking about this it seems like I know how already and just can't remember.
I have a problem with Photoshop automatically creating strange boxes on the layer mask when I'm sharpening the image, first with high pass, then unsharp mask. After I've already created a stamp visible layer on top of the layer mask.
