Real World Image Sharpening with Adobe Photoshop, Camera Raw, and Lightroom, Second Edition
by Bruce Fraser, Jeff Schewe
Overview
Just about every digital image requires sharpening since
softness is inevitably introduced during the image digitizing
process, and oftentimes with digital photography, images are
sharpened badly. This second edition of the definitive book by the
late Bruce Fraser teaches readers all they need to know about
sharpening, including when to use it, why it's needed, how to use
the camera's features, how to recognize an image that needs
sharpening, how much to use, what's bad sharpening, and how to fix
oversharpening.
Real World Image Sharpening with Adobe Photoshop, Camera Raw, and
Lightroom, Second Edition is written by Fraser's friend and
renowned photographer Jeff Schewe. It adds essential coverage of
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw, since many of the
key sharpening functions have migrated from Photoshop to those
tools since the first edition of the book was published.
The book shows readers how to: recognize the kind of sharpening
that each image needs; become acquainted with the full arsenal of
sharpening tools built into Photoshop, Lightroom, and Camera Raw;
sharpen part of an image selectively; create a complete sharpening
workflow that allows sharpening images optimally for different
uses; balance the contradictory demands of sharpening and noise
reduction; and more.
