Using Adobe Photoshop and the unsharp mask I will explain how image sharpening works using a simple sharpening wedge. You will learn exactly what the Amount, Radius and Threshold sliders of the Unsharp Mask control using a very simple but effective demonstration. Once you understand the Unsharp Mask controls, avoiding sharpening halos becomes much easier.

The second part of the video then looks at what to do if you have created sharpening halos. By using the blend if controls on a Photoshop layer, it’s possible to make sharpening halos less obvious. It’s a simple Photoshop technique but not often discussed.

Finally, the video looks at a typical landscape photo to illustrate where high contrast edges may be mistaken for sharpening halos. This is important as you won’t be able to correct these with adjustments in your sharpening approach. So, don’t give yourself a headache trying.
