TIP: Sharpening Women
If you need to apply a higher level of sharpening to a portrait of a woman, first go to the
Channels panel and click on the Red channel (shown here) to make it the active channel
(your image will appear in black and white). Now, apply your sharpening here, using a
higher Amount, like 120%, Radius: 1, Threshold: 3, right to this Red channel. By doing
this, it avoids sharpening most of the skin texture and instead just sharpens her eyes, eye-
brows, lips, hair, and so on. Once it's applied, click on the RGB channel at the top of the
Channels panel to return to the full-color image.
