We get to playing around with these things they can get out of control very quickly, software, filters ect...lol

Yet Clarity is the one thing most just spend more money to achieve a higher level, most cases that's exactly what you have to do..its all about that glass! now if your using PS? most will sharpen with a unsharpen mask and think its great! and really? its not bad. there's also one technique thats list in the discussion boards about high pass layers. it was used here (in overlay mode) compared to unsharpen mask. the high pass was much more effective with less noise. its not to say i dont have a little too much here on this file already... that came from the HDR process to give it a 3D painterly look, which i love my stuff more surreal then real...we all have our preference and i like them "all" personally!

however, in any case, or style you choose? provided your using PS dont just try one and then stick to just that very one technique of sharpening. ive made this mistake! of course LR has a nice choice as well, and many other programs! these are just my findings and result to share. just some thoughts with Sharpening, is all.

Now if you comment below with your skills and equipment dont need to be sharpen? your just lying to me and your self :) same as if you dont shoot in raw because you always get it right the first time in jpeg.

Happy Shooting to all of you! no matter what you use to shoot with or the software use to edit. its been my pleasure learning so much from all of you just by viewing :)

This image really blasts me with clarity. Hard to believe one can achieve this much. A fine job Chris.

When an (RAW or NEF) image of mine needs some sharpening, I always use the 'High Pass' mode (with the setting for 1.2 to 1.4 pixel size only), Chris. Much better than the usual sharpening and/or noise reduction features.

Your wonderful image is a proper 'advertising tool' (☺) for the use of it. Perfectly done!

That building was so impressive, and your choice of using the High Pass brought it out perfectly. Super duper post work my friend. tigs=^..^=

Wow, this mama really pops! I wonder how much fun it would be to clip the temple and sidewalk and drop it into a photo of someplace like a desert, or the Great Salt Lake, adding shadows and more sidewalk... like a scene out of a Stephen King novel, I'd think. Sometimes a little extra HDR is simply too much, other times (like this) it's art.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

I do like the way you think! Nik. quite creative indeed, wish i would have thought of that myself. maybe i should consult with you a little more before posting, you truly have given me some great ideas in the past. keep them coming!

I wonder if life stops to have a cigarette after it screws me?
