Although I cover High Pass sharpening in the sharpening chapter, and in a few of the
other projects in this chapter, I thought it was important to include it here as its own
project, because High Pass sharpening has kind of become 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. Now
go under the Filter menu, under Other,
and choose
High Pass
(as shown here).
