(Photoshop CC) Enhanced Smart Sharpen filter UI
Here is a recommended approach to sharpening images with Photoshop CC:
1. To begin, set Amount to a high value.
2. Increase the Radius to a value that introduces a halo effect.
3. Decrease the Radius until the halo effect disappers. You've arrived at the optimal value for Radius.
4. Now, decrease the value of Amount as necessary.
5. Adjust the Reduce Noise slider, such that the noise in the image looks similar to how it was before you began sharpening the image. Too
much noise reduction can result in a plasticy look. Higher Amount values require greater noise reduction.
Sketch filters
Filters in the Sketch submenu add texture to images, often for a 3D effect. The filters also are useful for creating a fine-arts or hand-drawn look.
Many of the Sketch filters use the foreground and background color as they redraw the image. All the Sketch filters can be applied through the
Filter Gallery.
Transforms an image so that it appears carved in low relief and lit to accent the surface variations. Dark areas of the image take on
the foreground color, and light colors use the background color.
Redraws highlights and midtones with a solid midtone gray background drawn in coarse chalk. Shadow areas are replaced
with black diagonal charcoal lines. The charcoal is drawn in the foreground color; the chalk, in the background color.
Creates a posterized, smudged effect. Major edges are boldly drawn, and midtones are sketched using a diagonal stroke. Charcoal is
the foreground color, and the background is the color of the paper.
Renders the image as if it had a polished chrome surface. Highlights are high points, and shadows are low points in the reflecting
surface. After applying the filter, use the Levels dialog box to add more contrast to the image.
Replicates the texture of dense dark and pure white Conté crayons on an image. The Conté Crayon filter uses the foreground
color for dark areas and the background color for light areas. For a truer effect, change the foreground color to one of the common Conté Crayon
colors (black, sepia, or sanguine) before applying the filter. For a muted effect, change the background color to white, add some of the foreground
color to the white background, and then apply the filter.
Uses fine, linear ink strokes to capture the details in the original image. The effect is especially striking with scanned images. The
filter replaces color in the original image, using the foreground color for ink and the background color for paper.
Simulates the effect of a halftone screen while maintaining the continuous range of tones.
Creates an image that appears to be constructed of handmade paper. This filter simplifies images and combines the effects of the
