Cinematic Sharpening – Photoshop Video Tutorial

18Jun

Cinematic Sharpening Photoshop Video TutorialEveryone has their little ‘go-to’ tricks in a workflow, and this one has been a firm favourite of mine for a couple of years now. It’s a nice simple technique for adding a touch of severity and ‘drama’ to a piece, when you’ve finished up – and want to share online or send to the client / print. High Pass Filter and Unsharp Mask are the players in this one, head on to the video to get the lowdown:

This was recorded in the new audio environment Ive been working on (like.. forever!). Let me know what you think, and tell your friends – if these videos get a good response, I’ll do lots more.

    Awesome!
    That’s exactly how I finish some of my pieces, that need a final punch to it.
    Very well explained and the audio sounds perfect!

    Keep the tutorials coming. I always learn something new (btw, I never knew this awesome shortcut to create a merged layeron top, without duplicating the entire layer set and merge it by hand)

    Awesome to see that you use this technique as well! I always do an unsharp mask, but I haven’t done the highpass before. Thanks for the tip!

    Yes, more of these, brah. I always use the high-pass technique, but never thought about coupling it w/unsharp mask. Your videos are always spot-on, and I’d love to see more of ‘em.

    Mahalos! Mak
