It amazes time and again: With the right amount of sharp-pointing even often very good pictures look much better. Even clearly fuzzy recordings can be enhanced with it. That’s why we show you the important techniques for sharpening: all controls and procedures, including zooming and leveling.
The right zoom level
When using, however, make sure that you do not increase the noise during sharpness. Rather, you should smoothen the unsightly grain, which is produced especially with high ISO sensitivities. Here too, you'll find the best tips.
Strength, radius, and threshold
You can edit the fine structure of your image file with focus and noises. You can see important changes in the zoom level 100%. It can also be called "1: 1" or "Actual pixels". A picture point of the photo appears exactly on a point of the monitor - it is no longer more accurate.
Selective sharpener
For this important zoom level there are special buttons and keyboard commands in the programs. Check the quality at a cutout that shows smooth surfaces as well as sharp contours. In particular, examine shadow areas for disturbances. But: If you present the recording zoomably on the Internet or print, the pixels are converted. The zoom level 100 per cent may show your picture so unrealistically clear. For this reason, check the recording on a 50 percent (1: 2) scale before printing. If you want the photo to appear zoomed on the monitor, you can also test odd zoom levels like 23.45 percent. Because what appears in the 100 percent representation error-free, can be distorted in a "crooked" reduction.
Sharpen with RAW features
You can even view an image in two different zoom levels simultaneously: To do this, open the Window / Arrange submenu in Photoshop's full version. Select "New window for" and then "2 next to each other". In Photoshop Elements, these functions are located in the "Window / Images" submenu

Tip: The fast way to zoom 100 percent: In Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, double-click the magnifying glass in the toolbar. Or use the key combination [Ctrl] + [1], on Mac [Command] + [1].
Many image programs offer several sharpening dialogs. Different settings are suitable depending on the picture quality. The principle is always the same: differences in brightness in contrasting edges are amplified - so the sharpness of the image increases. Familiarize yourself with these controllers
Tip: You can call a used sharpener command in Photoshop programs using [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [F] or [Command] + [Alt] + [F]. If you want the function to resume immediately without seeing the dialog box, press [Ctrl] + [F] or [Command] + [F]
The most effective focus in the Photoshop main program is provided by the "Selective Sharpener". With Photoshop Elements, this function is called "Adjust Sharpness". From the "Decrease" or "Decrease" drop-down menu, choose the "lens defocus" or the improperly named defaults "Depth of Field Depth" or "Shake."
The noise is often visible only in the shadows. Therefore, depending on the shot, the shadows should be set less sharply than other brightnesses, so that the focus will not cheer the image noise even further. For this purpose, the "selective sharpener" has a good function to offer
Tip: Only in Photoshop CC the "Selective Sharpener" has a powerful additional feature: the "Reduce noise" slider. The higher you raise the value, the more uniform surfaces are ejected from the sharpening. This is similar to the "masking" control in the Raw dialog. You can protect skin parts or smooth walls against sharp-spot defects without masking the affected areas.
A high-quality sharpening drawing is also available at Lightroom and in the Raw dialog of all Photoshop variants. It is basically loss-free. Look for these peculiarities
Smart filter technology
Lightroom and the Photoshop full versions also offer an output sharpening: it is applied to images that you pass from the raw dialog to the main program, as JPG export or print. The process is designed to compensate for the loss of sharpness caused by printers such as color emitters.
In Photoshop's Raw dialog, click the blue line at the bottom, with technical data such as "Adobe RGB (1998); 16 bit; 5184x3456". In "Workflow Options", you define a paper type and a thickness. In Lightroom, you can find the output sharpening in the "Export" dialog and the "Print" module.
Entrausche
Whether you're sharpening or editing the image, use the SmartFilter technology in Photoshop's full version CS3 (2007): This keeps the change flexible and can be limited to individual image zones. Here we sharpen only the eyes
Tip: If you double-click the black-and-white mask thumbnail, change the "Density" and "Soft edge" parameters of the filter mask in the "Properties" panel.
Counterfeiting helps in Photoshop and PSE "filter / noise filter / reduce noise". The "Intensity" control controls the intensity. Other important functions in this dialog
Often, noise in a basic color is particularly strong, often in blue. In Photoshop's full version, you can edit the basic colors individually. Click "Advanced", then "Pro Channel". Example: To get a little smoother and smoother the blue channel, take the moderate "strength" of 3 in the "total" area and raise the "strength" in the "blue" channel to 8 or 10.
In Lightroom and the Photoshop Raw dialog you can separate brightness and color in the "Details" area separately and without loss. Start with color noise. The special features
Tip: Corrections of individual basic colors in the "Reduce noise" dialog are cumbersome. Instead, select a single basic color, such as "Blue," and then click the eye icon next to "RGB." You will see the picture again with all basic colors, but will be edited "blue". Now call "Reduce Noise".
