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 :)
