- This is one of many sharpening techniques, but a personal favorite of mine. A method to bring back detail and texture.

I use a similar technique for smoothing imperfections while retaining texture detail. I create TWO blur layer groups, and invert one of them like you did. Then, using layer masks, selectively paint in blur or sharpening instead of applying it to the entire image.
I just tried out this technique: The Surface Blur is heavy for my system but the result is phenomenal.
The settings suggested in the video worked as intended on my test photo: Subtle but effective.
Thank you so much for sharing. :)
hoooraaaay !!! FREAKY AMAZING DETAILS !!!
Thanks Clay, now my favourite sharpening technique.
Thanks for the share! I've been using this same technique for the last two years and love it! You do amazing work.
Thanks for watching Austin!
I dig it. I will try this technique on my portrait work. Thanks for sharing, Clay.
Thanks Rob!
Thats actually a really wicked sharpening method! Cheers
Thanks man guess ill just have to practice and experiment to get that subtle vintage look!
Thanks for the vid Clay, very helpful.
Nice, not come across that one before, I'll give it a go. Thanks.
Very interesting. I'm going to try this out tonight!
Excellent technique.
Always wanted to learn this. Great Tutorial Clay!
Thanks!
Looks really nice Clay, I just have one question since I'm new to the process of coloring in images and want to learn more.
You have a lot of different layers before you started and the image looked great from the beginning, any chance you can show a movie of that as well?
Cheers
Great video Clay! Thanks for sharing. QQ - Do you use the same sharpen method for both print and web?
Why is this not working on CC 2014? When I put images in folder, and turn folder to overlay, the image does not alter. When I put first image to vivid light and invert, it turns into a nasty inversion. What is the deal?
+Dalton Clements did you ever figure out how to fix this?
such a weird way to sharpen. But it works really well.
Hi Clay i have used this method successfully many thanks, i am having a problem now where when i try to set the folder to overlay nothing happens, i had this problem once before but cant work out how i fixed it....any ideas?
For some reason this technique doesn't work for me. As soon as I invert the "Sharpen Vivid" layer, the image looks, well inverted (mostly grey). This inverted look is both visible in the layer icon and in the image itself on the left side. Basically I made a group folder with the blending mode set to "Overlay". In this group folder there are 2 identical layers. The bottom layer has its blending mode set to "Normal", while the top layer has its blending mode set to "Vivid Light". What am I doing wrong (using Photoshop CC by the way)?
Love this technique! Another great video Clay! Was the backdrop gray or black? How far away was the subject from the backdrop?
Thanks for watching! The backdrop was a hand painted canvas from Oliphant Studios, it's a dark gray. The subject was about 3-4 feet from the backdrop.
Amazing! Thank you!
Interesting will try it, By the way I would have reduced the dark areas under his eyes.
Hey clay, can you tell what the difference between Color Grading and Color Correction? or they just the same
+Blackjack. Color Correction is adjusting the colors so the subject is the correct color i.e. how they they would appear under afternoon sunlight (color temperature 5600k). Color Grading is adjusting colors for effect, to create a certain mood for the scene. You generally want to color correct first (use X-Rite Color Passport or something similar) so you have a neutral image to start with, then add color grading for effect.
Christine Feaster u deserve some cookies thx
Nice!
how do you get that vintage color style? I don't know if I'm explaining myself lol
Hey Michael! Good question, I always use a combination of curves and levels to achieve the right grade!
NICE!
I'm not at a computer with Photoshop so I can't try the technique but I just don't get this one thing: How can a blur effect become a sharpening effect just because you invert the colours? I mean, I see in the video that it actually works but... Photoshop, why u no logical?
There are many things about Photoshop that simply blow my mind, this is one of them. I don't know how it works, it just works!
Interesting but Nik Collection, out of the box, brings much better results.
Thanks for watching!
I thought this technique was invented by Glyn Dewis...guess i was wrong!
Thank you but too much talking.
You need to get to the point sooner. But thanks for the video.
Nice!
