OK, we’re picking up where we left last time (well, last month), where we dipped our toe into the wild world of sharpening. We started with the classic Unsharp Mask filter, which has been in Photoshop since, well, version 1.0 some 30-something years ago, but we still use it today, so it was a perfect way to kick off our adventure using filters. In this issue, I want to take sharpening another step further. The sharpening we’re going to learn about today is called High Pass sharpening (using the High Pass filter), which I use when I open an image that: Needs a ton of sharpeningIs the type of image that can take a lot of sharpening and look great, such...

In my continuing series on sharing options from Lightroom Classic (LrC) we started with the Export dialog and then looked at some cloud service options for sharing exported copies. I think the next logical option to consider is sharing to social media, and we’ll use Instagram as an example. The same concepts would apply to other social media outlets though the ideal pixel dimensions will vary with each site. The workflow for sharing to social media is very similar to the steps I outlined for exporting copies at different print sizes except instead of focusing on print sizes in inches we are concerned about display sizes in pixel dimensions. File type and color space are just as important as when exporting...
