nice!

wow, thanks, the very first comment I get for my pics. I'd been waiting. :embrass:

I have a question.

I sucked when it comes to photoshop. But I just tried one step with the above photo. It is under image, adjustment, auto levels. The red cactus photo becomes like this:

while I can see the difference, I don't know whether in this case has auto-adjustment improved the pic?

this pic is better. the previous one, a bit too much red.

try a bit of unsharp mask. The image will look even better!

thanks, knox. auto-adjust sound like a good place for me to begin with, but now will go on to try unsharp mask next.

I think the second pic can see the needles clearer ... *ouch*

Nice shot! :thumbsup:

For unsharp mask, try a smaller pixel radius, maybe 0.3 or 0.5, so that the pic won't look oversharpened

haha, I don't have photographer's eyes. Apply unsharp mask on the auto adjusted pic, whether 1.0 or 0.5 radius, both look the same to me as the one without unsharping.

what level of sharpening did u use, can try 200, pix radius 0.3, threshold 1. U should try unsharp mask after u resized the pic for the net, can see more difference in a smaller pic. I guess larger pic, u can try pix radius 1 or 1.5 bah ...

hold on, let me take a pen and paper and copy this down first, wah lau, so much to learn. Hehe, your teaching much appreciated. will go practice now.

got, got difference now. earlier i used the default, 50%, threshold 0 but adjust radius to 0.5%, but if 200%, threshold 1, and radius 0.3%, can tell the diff now.

once you understand the general concept of USM, you can use a free plugin that can automate this sharpening process for you.

Try this one that I use frequently

yah it is :bsmilie:. give it shot, if too intensive there are still other sharpening plugins available.

This is so cool. I just tried it now and it is like watching magic show, seeing all the changes happening in front of you, incredible. Thanks for sharing, knox.:thumbsup:
