Comments on: Why sharpen your images? http://photocritic.org/why-sharpen-photos/ The Photocritic DIY photography projects blog Tue, 02 Dec 2008 13:55:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Matt http://photocritic.org/why-sharpen-photos/#comment-242060 Matt Sat, 12 Apr 2008 00:53:01 +0000 http://www.photocritic.org/?p=926#comment-242060 Camera manufacturers put a filter over the sensor of digital cameras to control unwanted optical surprises. Forgive me if I can't think of what the filter is called and what it controls. A negative side effect of this filter is images that come out of the camera are a little soft. Therefore they need to be sharpened a bit. A good tip for sharpening is, if you have adobe photoshop cs3, to turn the layer to be sharpened into a smart layer. That way you can use you sharpening method of choice and adjust the sharpening amount when you need to for output to a different resolution or device. This is non destructive and similar to an adjustment layer. Cheers Camera manufacturers put a filter over the sensor of digital cameras to control unwanted optical surprises.
