mcgarity 0 Posted January 28, 2005 I think it would benefit from a boost in contrast. If I were you I would load it into Photoshop and copy the background layer. Make the copied background layer the active layer. Run unsharp mask at the following settings: amount 20%, radius 60, threshold 0. Turn the copied background layer on and off to visually compare before and after. If you don't like the results delete the backgound copy. I think you probably will though. This will NOT sharpen your image but it will boost the contrast and give it a lot of POP. If you are using USM to sharpen your image you should do it last. If you use USM the way I described here you should do it before any other adjustments. You are not sharpening, you are boosting contrast. If you do it after a levels adjustment you can blow the highlights because it does spread out the histogram. Link to comment
