thumbstick 9 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Click on filter on your tool bar, go to sharpen on the drop down menu, then click on unsharp mask you should be able to follow it from there. Hope this helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Romany 1,065 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 As above matie, unsharp mask for a starting point, set the top box to about 150-200, middle box to between 1,5 and 3 max, and the bottom box 0-2,,but its a matter of choice and taste. All wildlife photos will require some sharpening to enhance them, but, the skill is not too much..if you see a halo around your subject you have over sharpened, and another negative is by too much sharpening you will get more noise..If your now using a powerful program like CS and you are doing some post processing, set your camera to a low sharpening value, its 0-9 in the D300 I set mine to 1 or 2..if your not going to do any sharpening afterwards and want images straight from the camera, set it to 6-7.if you set sharpening high in the camera, then post process the image in photoshop you have sharpened twice, and you may set some halo-ing and any benefits from sharpening will be lost.

MuttleMcTuttle 21 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) Take your pick... I always set in-camera sharpening to "off". Sharpening is the last stage of the process when preparing digital images because the amount of sharpening depends on the intended output, size, etc. You may find that you need more sharepening applied to images for printing, less for small pics destined for the web. Resize the image first, then sharpen depending on the use. For small web pics I tend to just hit "sharpen" then fade it to about 50% until it looks okay. Nothing worse than a good image ruined by over-sharpening, so always keep a copy of the original. Edited March 30, 2011 by MuttleMcTuttle Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SINDASOX 256 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I always set in-camera sharpening to "off". Are there any advantages in setting my in camera sharpening to off, and then sharpening in DPP, i use a Canon 400D, i'm always keen to pick up new knowledge but some of the advice out there on various aspects of processing your prints is like.... "Feckin Double Dutch" .....well it is to me anyway. Cheers SINDASOX Quote Link to post Share on other sites
