High Pass Sharpening for HDR Images
Although I cover High Pass sharpening in the sharpening chapter, I thought it was import-
ant to include it here as its own project, because High Pass sharpening has kind of be-
come synonymous with HDR editing. High Pass sharpening is sometimes called “extreme
sharpening,” and that's a really good description of what it is. Here, I'm going to show you
how to apply it, how to control it afterward, and an optional method that I use myself quite
a bit.
Step One:
Once you've finished creating your HDR image using Merge to HDR Pro, and it's open in
Photoshop, start by pressing
Command-J (PC: Ctrl-J)
to duplicate the Background layer.
Then, go under the Filter menu, under Other, and choose
High Pass
(as shown here).
