Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 427 Sharpening your dark and stormy photo for print, part of Deke's Techniques.
- [Voiceover] In this movie I'll show you how to sharpen…the dark and stormy image for print.…And the idea is this:…we wanna bring out the nice filigree details down here…toward the bottom of the image…without enhancing the bad edges around the gargoyles…toward the top of the image.…So we're gonna come up with this effect here.…Notice if I zoom in on the image we have these nice…sharp edges going on.…And then as we move up into the sky…we have a little bit of blur.…So what we end up, if I zoom out here…is a kind of tilt-shift effect.…
Now the reason I won't be applying…Photoshop's Tilt-Shift filter is that it doesn't sharpen.…It only blurs and that's it.…And what we need is a little bit of sharpening…and a little bit of blur,…and we need it to happen in opposite areas.…So notice that we're sharpening the bottom portion…of the image, and I'm showing you that…with this layer mask, so the white in the layer mask…is the area that's being affected,…and we're blurring the top portion of the image.…In other words we can't do it with one set of smart filters.…
