The HiRaLoAm method in operation on a nature shot. In general it is possible to use stronger sharpening techniques on this type of shot as there are no skin tones to worry about. Insects too will take quite heavy sharpening.

Action Stations

If you find a method of sharpening that you like, and suits your style, making an action is the best way to replicate and repeat the procedure. You will find that the effort involved in creating the action is soon repaid. We have one that we use a lot for High Pass sharpening of portraiture. It involves making layer and layer groups with Layer masks and is quite a rigmarole so it is worth recording an action for! The action finishes with a layer mask hiding all the image and you paint in sharpness just where you want it.
