Absolutely stunning images. Well done!

May I ask what sharpening/downscaling technique you are using?

starscream · 07-30-2009, 04:39 PM

maybe this is a wrist technique

thanks..

Was this an answer to my "sharpening" question?

You are doing a lot of things right, I just wondered how you make the images appear so crisp on the screen. Is it unsharp mask or something else?

my photo processing is cs4.. Raw to Jpeg convert,, + frame + adr name --- > to finish..

frame = cropping?
adr name = ?

I'm not familiar with CS4 but it seems you are using "smart sharpening" or "unsharp" mask, or something similar. Are you not?

starscream · 08-02-2009, 02:15 AM

No sharpening,

just a little color correct and slight crop

starscream · 08-05-2009, 11:43 AM
