postheadericon Tutorial Thursday: Sharpen Your Images

What is sharpening? It is simply enhancing the edges of an image. Look at the examples below.

Image that hasn't had any edited or sharpening.







An image that has had editing/sharpening.






Alot of people upload or print the pictures exactly how they were on their camera without editing or sharpening their images. Why look and display a dull, out of focus image when in just a few minutes you could sharpen the photo and make it 100 times better?

Most cameras (especially those in the more professional category) sharpen the image automatically. But for those smaller camera's and point and shoots, you'll have to manually sharpen the image. Some props for sharpening images are: 1. Photoshop Elements, 2. Lightroom, 3. Aperature, or you can use a FREE (not as high quality) photo editing site called 4. Picnik. (examples 1-3 are highlighted before and can be purchased on Amazon).

Was this tutorial helpful to you? Do you have a specific tutorial you'd like to see? Let me know!
