Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 689 Sharpening your very soft molecules, part of Deke's Techniques.
- [Deke] In this movie, we're going to take…those soft molecules that we created in the previous movie,…and we're going to sharpen them up…to create these more deeply carved transitions…so that each molecule is more clearly defined…from its neighbor.…Alright, so I'll go ahead and switch over…to my image so far, and I'll double-click…on the background item down here…at the bottom of the Layers panel…to bring up the New Layer dialog box.…And I'll call this guy molecules, as you might expect,…and I'll click OK.…Now we're going to be sharpening our molecules…using a dynamic smart filter.…
And so armed with Rectangular Marquee Tool,…go ahead and right-click inside the image window…and choose Convert to Smart Object.…Then you want to go up to the Filter menu, choose Sharpen,…and choose Unsharp Mask.…You can go with Smart Sharpen, but it's going to take longer,…and it's not really going to do you any additional good.…And so Unsharp Mask is the way to go.…Now, we're working with very soft transitions,…and so I'm going to crank the Amount value…
