Photoshop Basics: Sharpening 101
When starting as a photographer, I feel most people believe that you shoot the photo, and the job is done. I know this is what I used to think! The only time this could possibly be true is if you are shooting in JPEG mode. What about when your shooting for clients who require RAW images converted to TIF files? Simply capturing the photo with your camera is just the start of the work. You will now need to perform your RAW conversion (covered in an upcoming article) and your adjustments in Photoshop. Make note that sharpening is always the LAST step in your editing process. Otherwise re-sizing the image, or changing anything after sharpening can cause damage to the image.
