Sharpening Photos in Photoshop Elements
On the San Diego Photography Meetup Group, I commented that a photo was a bit soft and could benefit from sharpening. The photographer replied she didn’t know much about sharpening. That got me to thinking that sharpening is something most experienced digital photographers do automatically without a lot of thought but it could be baffling to many newbies. I’ve embedded a Video Monday Morning Tip that explains basics of sharpening.
There are several more videos covering sharpening in the Video section as well as a PDF article in the Monday Morning Tips section. I hope you’ll take a moment to review these resources so you can make your photos the best they can be.
Most of my videos and articles are basic enough that the instructions work for either Photoshop or Photoshop Elements.

2011 San Diego Fair Entries
Here are my entries for the 2011 San Diego Fair. It’s your turn to critique my work. Let me know if you see anything you would have done differently in either making the photo or post-processing it for competition. Entering a competition is a good way to validate your work and ensure you’re not “drinking the Kool Aid.” Just because your mother says you’re a good photographer doesn’t mean anyone else thinks so!

Here’s What’s New at Strobist- SaxonPC Grids: Straddling Store-bought and DIY May 17, 2012Like McNally says, if you want to make something more interesting, don't light all of it. And to that end, I use grid spots a lot. In fact, probably just as often as I use umbrellas. My workhorse speedlight grid has long been the HonlPhoto 1/8". But for those looking for a lower entry point (or more extreme beam widths) SaxonPC grids offer a second […]
- Anatomy of a Project: Miller Mobley's Re-enactors May 14, 2012When I worked at The Sun, a lot of emphasis was put on always having multiple projects in the hopper. Self-generated projects are the lifeblood of any good paper, and they promote exploration and serendipity. Since I have gone out on my own, I can honestly say projects have the single most important vehicle for developing my photography. I always have at lea […]

A large part of photography is improving your sight. Anyone can look but very few actually “see.” Glad you’re seeing the difference.
