Great white sharks are not mindless eating machines. Nor are they particularly dangerous to human beings if you stay out of their way. Otherwise, little is known about them. A single shark may swim all the way from Mexico to Japan in a single year, but we don’t know why. We don’t know how long they live. They play rough but heal remarkably quickly. And even though they enjoy a reputation as ferocious apex predators, no great white shark has survived more than a month in captivity. And so when you photograph one of these amazing creatures, you want to get it just right. Here’s the best way to sharpen a photo of one of the biggest, most dynamic fish left in the world.
- In this movie,…we're going to take our close up of that great white shark…and we're going to get rid of this extraneous fish…including the one coming out of her chin.…And we're also sharpening the image…to achieve this effect here.…Aright so, I'll go and switch back to our image so far…and because I opened it as a smaller object…I can make further changes inside camera…just by double clicking on it's thumb nail…here inside the layers panel,…which in my case is going to open camera…and a fold screen load…you can switch between the smaller dialog box…and fold screen…by clicking on this icon or pressing the "F" key.…
Alright, now I'll grab the spot removal tool…which is available up here in the horizontal toolbar…and has a keyboard short cut of "b" for brush…and this fish is the most egregious interloper…so I'm just going to go ahead and paint around it like so…notice that my type over here in this spot removal area…is set to heal and I've got a pretty big brush…besides is set to 18…and if you can see here this edge doesn't match at all…
