I’m looking forward to seeing your comments/comparison about smart sharpen (#9 above), and unsharp mask – first time on this site.

There are quite a few advocates of “Smart Sharpen”, saying that it’s the most up-to-date (and best) sharpening tool. It would be great if you could discuss Smart Sharpen vs. unsharp masking — these differences can be confusing. Thanks, Colin (your videos are a great learning tool!)

Hi Colin, I have always used High Pass for my sharpening because I have never really understood the Unsharp Mask, but now you have explained it all has become very clear, especially using the two methods in tandem. Excellent stuff.

Thank-you Collin. I do get confused with so many options and love how you make it seem simple.

Excellent.I use Unsharp Mask but didn’t really understand what I was doing.
Just the right amount of detail.
thanks

As always Colin. Very helpful reminders of what each of the sliders do and how you show us the results. I always forget about using High Pass.

Colin — I’ve been coming to the CAFE for years and have been loving it. I just wanted to say thanks for all of the hard work that you do with your tutorials. You’ve set the bar very high and I appreciate it. Keep up the good work and don’t worry about a little hair loss. Like the weather, it just happens.
