Some Advice on Unsharp Mask
Hi all,
I've heard a lot mentioned about unsharp mask, but I am unsure how to get the best from it. Can some one explain the process to me and some settings that would be a good starting point??? Cheers, Matt |

Re: Some Advice on Unsharp Mask
There are no best settings although, for myself I usually start round about - Amount 100, Radius 1, Threshold 3. I would suggest that you take all settings back to zero, make sure Preview is ticked and have a play with different images. Be aware though that extreme settings will introduce noise and create halos, like a white line, around subjects.
Have a look at this thread - it should give you pointers. |

Re: Some Advice on Unsharp Mask
Note in Monochrome shots you can be alot more aggresive with the USM. I quite often use figures of 75,50,0 on landscape shots to lift the contrast & add real punch to the shot.
