0:00:09.650,0:00:13.500
hey guys photoshop pro help here and

0:00:12.150,0:00:16.859
today i'm going to show you how to make

0:00:13.500,0:00:19.170
your images a lot sharper now take this

0:00:16.859,0:00:22.560
image right here looks really nice but

0:00:19.170,0:00:25.199
we wanted a lot sharper so to do this is

0:00:22.560,0:00:26.699
really simple all we're going to do is

0:00:25.199,0:00:30.029
we're going to go and duplicate our

0:00:26.699,0:00:33.630
image so ctrl + J on your keyboard or

0:00:30.029,0:00:34.890
command + J if you have a Mac and then

0:00:33.630,0:00:36.420
what we're going to do is we're going to

0:00:34.890,0:00:40.920
go up to filter and we're going to go to

0:00:36.420,0:00:44.010
sharpen and an unsharp mask so let's

0:00:40.920,0:00:46.590
just go there there we go now as you can

0:00:44.010,0:00:51.390
see it's changed a lot so if i change

0:00:46.590,0:00:54.120
the preview so you might want to see

0:00:51.390,0:00:56.610
this video in HD that's probably where

0:00:54.120,0:01:00.239
you can best see this but as you can see

0:00:56.610,0:01:01.559
is a big difference so what we can

0:01:00.239,0:01:04.949
really do is play around with the

0:01:01.559,0:01:07.530
settings and see what one but you know

0:01:04.949,0:01:11.189
works best with this picture so let's go

0:01:07.530,0:01:13.619
and play around with the amount so I'm

0:01:11.189,0:01:15.420
going to keep it at 86 this should do

0:01:13.619,0:01:17.360
for me but you want to change yours

0:01:15.420,0:01:20.009
because every image is totally different

0:01:17.360,0:01:22.259
so we have a nice contrast on the

0:01:20.009,0:01:25.350
glasses which are a lot sharper now and

0:01:22.259,0:01:27.780
a hair and the tops that we actually

0:01:25.350,0:01:30.750
needed but her skin is a little bit

0:01:27.780,0:01:32.369
pixelated for our my liking so all going

0:01:30.750,0:01:35.460
to do is we're going to go click OK and

0:01:32.369,0:01:37.530
then we're going to go zoom in see as

0:01:35.460,0:01:38.790
you can see her skin is a bit grainy at

0:01:37.530,0:01:40.530
the moment but we're going to go and

0:01:38.790,0:01:42.990
sort that and how we're going to solve

0:01:40.530,0:01:44.549
that is a layer mask so bottom right

0:01:42.990,0:01:47.909
hand side you see a little camera icon

0:01:44.549,0:01:50.880
click that and this attaches a layer

0:01:47.909,0:01:53.340
mask onto it so what layer mask does is

0:01:50.880,0:01:56.040
when you paint over in black it hides

0:01:53.340,0:01:59.310
all the stuff and brings the underneath

0:01:56.040,0:02:01.259
through so now that we have our original

0:01:59.310,0:02:03.840
image underneath we're going to go and

0:02:01.259,0:02:05.909
paint with a soft black brush so make

0:02:03.840,0:02:08.399
sure you've got Blackie's default color

0:02:05.909,0:02:11.009
click your brush icon on the left hand

0:02:08.399,0:02:13.630
side go up to the top select a soft

0:02:11.009,0:02:15.580
brush and all we're going to do is go

0:02:13.630,0:02:17.380
zoom in and we're going to make sure

0:02:15.580,0:02:19.440
that we are working on that the masking

0:02:17.380,0:02:25.930
layer and we're just going to go and

0:02:19.440,0:02:29.410
paint over her skin so it stops it

0:02:25.930,0:02:32.320
looking very pixelated now as you can

0:02:29.410,0:02:34.450
see it's taking all the stuff back in

0:02:32.320,0:02:40.360
these making our skin comeback fruit

0:02:34.450,0:02:45.730
nice so let's just do them and just over

0:02:40.360,0:02:51.030
the eyes like that and then we'll just

0:02:45.730,0:02:54.610
do this bit and just her neckline and

0:02:51.030,0:02:57.370
then this zoom out now if we just

0:02:54.610,0:02:59.890
zooming a tad if I take off and show you

0:02:57.370,0:03:02.710
we originally look like so it's a bit

0:02:59.890,0:03:07.090
bit blurry in the start and then we've

0:03:02.710,0:03:10.420
sharpened it up so before after before

0:03:07.090,0:03:13.540
and after as you can see you can see a

0:03:10.420,0:03:15.670
lot more of a top and her glasses have

0:03:13.540,0:03:17.680
come through now this is a really quick

0:03:15.670,0:03:20.290
and easy way to sharpen up your image

0:03:17.680,0:03:23.800
now not many people know this but a lot

0:03:20.290,0:03:25.450
of photographers use this technique so

0:03:23.800,0:03:27.780
going to have fun with it shopping up

0:03:25.450,0:03:30.280
your images and see what comes out and

0:03:27.780,0:03:34.470

0:03:30.280,0:03:34.470
I'll see you next time guys bye for now

0:00:10.509,0:00:14.709
Hey guys, photoshop pro help here, today I'm going to be showing you how to make your images a lot sharper

0:00:14.709,0:00:16.099


0:00:16.099,0:00:21.419
now takes this image right here, it looks really nice but we want it a lot sharper

0:00:21.419,0:00:24.189
so to do this it is really simple

0:00:24.189,0:00:28.420
all we are going to do is go and duplicate our image

0:00:28.420,0:00:32.990
so CTRL + J on the keyboard or COMMAND + J if you have mac

0:00:32.990,0:00:37.530
and then what we are going to do is go to FILTER - Sharpen

0:00:37.530,0:00:40.390
and then UNSHARP MASK

0:00:40.390,0:00:43.470
so lets just go there, there we go

0:00:43.470,0:00:45.930
now as you can see it has changed a lot

0:00:45.930,0:00:49.970
so if I change the preview

0:00:49.970,0:00:56.170
so you might want to see this video in HD, that would probable be the best place to see this

0:00:56.170,0:00:59.450
but as you can see it has made a big difference

0:00:59.450,0:01:03.070
so what we can really do is play around with the settings and

0:01:03.070,0:01:06.800
see what one works best with this picture

0:01:06.800,0:01:10.890
so lets go and play around with the amount

0:01:10.890,0:01:15.280
so I am going to keep it at 86, this should do for me, but you want to change yours

0:01:15.280,0:01:18.180
because every image is totally different

0:01:18.180,0:01:22.370
so we have a nice contrast on the
glasses which are a lot sharper now

0:01:22.370,0:01:24.020
and her hair and

0:01:24.020,0:01:26.310
the top that we actually needed

0:01:26.310,0:01:31.370
but her skin is a little bit pixelated for my liking so what we are going to do is

0:01:31.370,0:01:33.030
we are going to click OK

0:01:33.030,0:01:35.260
and then we are going to go and zoom in

0:01:35.260,0:01:38.690
as you can see her skin is a bit grainy at the moment but we are going to go sort that

0:01:38.690,0:01:39.640


0:01:39.640,0:01:43.990
and how we are going to sort that is layer masks, so bottom right hand side you will see a little

0:01:43.990,0:01:46.290
camera icon, click that

0:01:46.290,0:01:51.150
and this attaches a layer mask on to it, so what layer mask does is when

0:01:51.150,0:01:54.610
you paint over in black it will hide all the stuff

0:01:54.610,0:01:57.770
and it will bring the underneath through so

0:01:57.770,0:02:00.500
now that we have our original image underneath

0:02:00.500,0:02:04.980
we are going to paint with a soft black brush so make sure you have

0:02:04.980,0:02:06.710
black as your default colour

0:02:06.710,0:02:11.900
click your brush icon on your left hand side, go up to the top and select a soft brush

0:02:11.900,0:02:14.709
and all we are going to do is zoom in

0:02:14.709,0:02:18.199
and we are going to make sure we are working on the masking layer

0:02:18.199,0:02:19.909
and we are just going to go

0:02:19.909,0:02:21.619
and paint

0:02:21.619,0:02:24.409
over her skin

0:02:24.409,0:02:28.979
so it stops it looking very pixelated

0:02:28.979,0:02:31.290
now as you can see, it's taking

0:02:31.290,0:02:32.839
all the stuff back and it's

0:02:32.839,0:02:36.519
making her skin comeback though nice

0:02:36.519,0:02:39.399
so lets just do there

0:02:39.399,0:02:42.959
and just over the eyes

0:02:42.959,0:02:45.159
like that

0:02:45.159,0:02:49.170
and then we will just do this bit

0:02:49.170,0:02:51.709
and just her neck line

0:02:51.709,0:02:53.629
and then lets zoom out

0:02:53.629,0:02:55.950
now if i just zoom in a tad

0:02:55.950,0:02:59.409
if i take off and show you what it originally looked like

0:02:59.409,0:03:05.089
so it's a bit blurry in the start and then we have sharpened it up, so

0:03:05.089,0:03:06.389
before

0:03:06.389,0:03:07.209
after

0:03:07.209,0:03:08.129
before

0:03:08.129,0:03:12.169
and after, so as you can see you can see a lot more of her top

0:03:12.169,0:03:16.429
and her glasses have come through, now this is a really quick and easy way

0:03:16.429,0:03:21.729
to sharpen up your image, now not a lot of people now this but a lot of photographers

0:03:21.729,0:03:23.639
use this technique

0:03:23.639,0:03:28.139
so go and have fun with it and go and sharpen up your images and see what comes out

0:03:28.139,0:03:32.149
and please comment, rate and subscribe and I'll see you next time guys
